About David
David Routly is a licensed professional counselor with 18 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, and anger. He speaks plain language and focuses on practical steps that feel doable. He listens carefully and looks for what gets in the way of change.
In sessions he centers the person in front of him. He uses Client-Centered methods to create space for people to tell their story and name what matters.
Background and approach
He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and acting. Existential ideas shape his work when people are wrestling with meaning, loss, or big life shifts. He helps clients face difficult choices and find values that guide next steps.
EMDR and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are available when trauma processing or emotional regulation work is needed. David keeps things straightforward. Conversations often include concrete goals, short experiments between sessions, and new skills to practice.
He helps people track small changes and notice what works. He practices in Georgia and meets people in English. Sessions can be by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different routines.
For many, that flexibility makes it easier to keep therapy going. People who reach out begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. David uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and adjusts cost based on location and availability.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Existential Therapy invites people to name what matters most and to face difficult choices about meaning and direction. Online sessions can focus on values, life transitions, and the feelings that come with big decisions in a conversational way.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. In remote work this looks like open dialogue where the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps clarify goals and next steps.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small changes. Online formats make it easy to assign short between-session exercises and review what happened in the client's day-to-day life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before, then suggest a mix of methods to try in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when deeper conversation is helpful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging make short check-ins and skill coaching easier to use between longer sessions. These options help people keep consistent contact with licensed professionals while matching the format to their life.
