About David

David Brand is a licensed professional clinical counselor with an approachable, steady style. He focuses on practical help for everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and relationship strain. He writes and speaks plainly so people can understand steps they can try right away.

He uses straightforward conversations to build trust and notice what isn't being said. Sessions often include teaching skills, gentle challenge, and real-world practice. His background in education informs a clear, instructional way of explaining new tools.

Background and approach

David draws on several common therapy approaches to match each person's needs. He applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behavior. He uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotional regulation and coping skills.

He also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify what matters and take small steps toward those values. He brings personal experience as a husband and father into his work, which shapes an understanding of parenting pressures and fatherhood concerns. He also helps people dealing with grief, addiction, trauma, sleep problems, anger, and life changes.

Additional focus areas include attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, and men's issues. David practices in Ohio and holds the LPCC credential, which appears as OH LPCC. He offers sessions in English and supports people who prefer video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Start-up involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

David integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into online visits. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or sleep trouble. DBT offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and practicing interpersonal effectiveness.

He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take committed action toward them. Choosing which approach to emphasize is collaborative. The therapist works with each person to figure out what fits their goals and preferences and checks in regularly to adjust the plan.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching exercises. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, and flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to attend sessions around parenting duties, work, and other commitments, while still focusing on practical skills and growth.
