About David
David Steinman is an LPCC and LPC practicing in South Carolina with four years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression, and compassion fatigue. He also works with people facing blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress.
He uses client-centered work alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. He listens for what matters to each person and then helps set practical steps to address it.
In sessions he talks through stress responses, patterns of thinking, and how behavior affects mood. He teaches skills from CBT and DBT to manage strong emotions and to change unhelpful habits. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are used to increase awareness and commitment to change.
David aims for clear, direct work rather than long theoretical talks. He helps people identify small, achievable targets and track progress between meetings. Discussions can include communication strategies for relationship strain and ways to cope after traumatic events.
Clients should expect straightforward conversation, skills practice, and collaborative planning. The focus is on practical steps that fit into daily life, with adjustments as needs change and goals evolve.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's priorities. The therapist follows the client's lead and uses conversation to set goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thought and behavior with practical exercises and homework. CBT helps address anxiety, depression, and mood problems by changing unhelpful thinking and routines.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT skills, or mindfulness practices fit best for their situation. Goals, preferences, and how someone responds to initial sessions guide that choice.
Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a day, allow brief check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Therapists often adapt CBT worksheets, DBT skills coaching, and mindfulness exercises to a virtual setting so people can practice between sessions and keep momentum.
