About David
David Hopkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with eight years of practice since becoming licensed in 2016. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, grief, and depression. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than labels or jargon.
Before licensure he worked in mental health beginning in 2006, so he brings longer-term experience to current work. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) methods to address patterns that keep problems cycling. That includes looking at thoughts, behaviors, and skills people can use day to day.
In sessions he talks through what leads to snapping, buildup of resentment, and trouble at work or home. He also addresses related issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, control issues, impulsivity, and communication problems. Practical tools and skills are a steady part of meetings.
He works with people on life events like divorce, caregiving stress, money worries, and grief. He also addresses mood and self-image concerns like guilt, shame, and isolation. The focus is on manageable changes a person can try between sessions.
Getting started involves a short questionnaire and a first appointment to set goals. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
How sessions work
How CBT and DBT inform online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against reality. In practice this means noticing thought patterns that fuel anger or anxiety and trying specific behavior changes to reduce their impact. It is useful for problems like stress, mood shifts, and sticky negative thinking.DBT emphasizes skills for handling intense emotions and improving relationships. Typical DBT work includes breathing and grounding tools, distress-tolerance techniques, and clearer communication skills. These approaches help when anger feels overwhelming or when impulsivity and conflict repeat. Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit the goals and daily life. That may mean focusing more on skill practice one week and on thought work the next, depending on what helps most. The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on hectic days, and remove travel time. It also gives space to practice skills in ordinary settings and to bring real-life situations into conversation without promising any single format.
