About David
David Morris is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 27 years of experience helping adults facing addiction, depression, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, and life transitions. He focuses on practical steps people can take to reduce stress, rebuild confidence, and manage upsetting emotions. Sessions emphasize straightforward conversation and clear goals.
He uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on the person's experience and priorities. That approach lets clients set the pace while the counselor reflects and clarifies what matters most to them. David also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try out different coping strategies in concrete ways.
In practice he works on problems such as substance and process addiction, self-esteem, career stress, grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues. He also supports people navigating aging concerns, fatherhood issues, blended family problems, infidelity, and end-of-life decisions. Sessions are aimed at making day-to-day life more manageable and reducing repeated patterns that lead to anger and resentment.
He describes the work as collaborative and goal-focused. Clients talk through current struggles, try small behavior changes, and track how those changes affect mood and relationships. The emphasis is on doing things that help in daily life rather than abstract theory.
People who choose him can expect a steady, practical approach that combines reflective listening with skills-based tools. For someone fed up with snapping at loved ones or stuck in cycles of frustration, his style is about noticing triggers and building better short-term responses.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's experience. In practice that means the counselor listens, reflects, and follows what the client brings up so sessions stay on the topics that feel most urgent. This style helps when someone needs to talk through recent anger flare-ups or relationship conflicts.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It uses step-by-step exercises and experiments to test different responses to triggers. CBT is useful for breaking cycles of resentment, managing anxiety, and changing behaviors linked to substance or process addictions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then decide together which tools to try. That collaborative process can change over time as new challenges come up.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists often use similar conversation and CBT exercises online as they do in person, which lets clients apply new skills directly between sessions.
