David Routly, LPC

David Routly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 18 years of clinical experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and anger. He also supports people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain, sleep problems, and challenges tied to ADHD and bipolar disorder.

David's approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on what is bothering the person now and on small, manageable steps forward. He draws on methods that help people change unhelpful thinking, build coping skills, and process difficult memories. Conversations are direct and goal-oriented while remaining respectful and steady.

Clients meet a therapist who uses Client-Centered Therapy alongside cognitive and behavioral techniques. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and EMDR are included where they fit the client's goals. The work often mixes talking, skills practice, and focused processing of past events.

He pays attention to patterns such as attachment issues, codependency, control problems, and difficulties that come from abandonment or blended family situations. David also addresses niche concerns like BDSM and kink related issues in a nonjudgmental manner. Practical problem solving is a frequent part of sessions, for things like sleep, communication, and managing anger in everyday life.
