About David
David Sullivan, LCPC, LPC, helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. He meets individuals where they are and focuses on practical steps to feel more steady.

He has 23 years of experience in the mental health field and holds a Master of Arts in Counseling and a Master of Divinity degree.
Background and approach
He uses a mix of approaches rooted in cognitive work and a client-centered stance. Sessions emphasize noticing thoughts, slowing reactions, and building clearer choices that match a person’s values. In sessions he draws on existential thinking to help people name what matters and to face difficult decisions with more clarity.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to manage intense emotions and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help committing to change, such as with substance concerns or new habits. David works with people across a wide range of concerns, including caregiver stress, ADHD, career questions, and long-term health issues.
He notes less experience with LGBTQ clients and approaches all work without imposing personal beliefs. He offers services from Michigan and is available to work with clients in the United States, Canada, the Philippines and Southeast Asia, Australia, Europe, and the UK. Sessions include video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging, using a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Online support
Approaches that guide online work and practical tools
David blends existential ideas with cognitive and client-centered methods. Existential therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and face life choices with more honesty and direction. It can be useful for those questioning purpose, handling loss, or navigating big transitions.Cognitive behavioral work focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life actions. This approach is practical for anxiety, depression, and behavior change because it offers concrete steps to shift reactions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful therapeutic relationship so clients feel heard and supported as they try new things.
Choosing an approach is a team process. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress happens.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is well suited for in-depth work and visual connection. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for short exchanges, homework, or quick support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
