About David
David Sprouse is a licensed counselor who brings a straightforward, calm approach to therapy. He uses a relaxed but professional style to help people talk through stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges. David holds LCPC and LPC credentials and works from Virginia.
He draws on five years of licensed counseling experience alongside long experience in healthcare. That background informed work leading a medication assisted treatment program and supporting people with substance use concerns.
Background and approach
He helps clients facing work stress, chronic illness, sleep and eating difficulties, and compassion fatigue. In sessions he creates an open atmosphere where people can share without feeling judged. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer thinking.
He listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps people test small changes between meetings. David uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. He also integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
Mindfulness and narrative ideas are used when they match a client's goals and style. Many people come for help with parenting questions, anger, self-esteem, or coping with life transitions. He also supports those managing ADHD, trauma, grief, and relationship strain.
Work together usually emphasizes doable tools, clearer communication, and realistic next steps. Sessions are offered in English. People interested in starting complete a short questionnaire to match with a therapist and then schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person's lead and building a trusting conversation. Online sessions use that same stance so the therapist listens, reflects, and helps clients name what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and habits; online CBT often involves setting specific goals, trying short experiments between sessions, and reviewing progress together. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and name emotions that shape relationships and reactions, which can be useful when addressing parenting stress, grief, or connection problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay practical and relevant to their life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and do deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are helpful for quick reflections, ongoing coaching, or keeping momentum between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting schedules, or medical routines.
