About David
David Demorest is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 19 years of experience based in Idaho. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, eating issues, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related challenges. He blends practical problem-solving with straightforward conversation to help people manage pressing problems.
David trained with a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling and also holds a Master’s in Biology/Biochemistry. Before counseling he spent many years working as a radiochemist in research and industry. That science background shaped how he approaches behavior and mental health issues and gave him experience communicating clearly with people from many walks of life.
In sessions he starts by building a trusting working relationship, then identifies the core problems the person wants to address. He and the client put together a treatment plan with concrete goals. That plan is reviewed and changed as progress and new problems appear.
His approach is eclectic and practical. He uses Client-Centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused work, Mindfulness techniques, and hypnotherapy when appropriate. He has experience with biofeedback and neurofeedback as additional tools for anxiety, depression, and addiction-related issues.
If a concern needs a different type of care, he will refer the person to another counselor who specializes in that area. Outside of work he spends time in Idaho and near Jackson Hole, enjoys skiing, canoeing, fly fishing, and travel.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. It helps people feel heard while they name what needs to change and set goals for anger, anxiety, or relationship problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to notice triggers, test unhelpful thoughts, and try different behaviors when anger or stress rises.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to notice bodily sensations and emotions without immediate reaction. That practice can reduce impulsive responses and help someone pause before reacting during a heated moment.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress is made or new issues appear.
The original biography does not list which online session formats he uses, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or remove travel time so therapy can be more consistent. Therapists and licensed professionals can help pick the best format and session length to match everyday life and practical scheduling constraints.
