About David

David Yoder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with six years of clinical experience. He centers sessions on the person's experience and helps them find clearer footing when life feels overwhelming. He often works with stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction-related concerns.

He also supports people facing grief, trauma, career challenges, parenting strain, and questions about identity and life purpose. Many clients come because they feel stuck during a transition or by ongoing patterns that cause distress.

Background and approach

David uses a person-centered stance in sessions. That means he listens closely, follows what matters to each person, and helps them name what they want to change. He brings in tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when practical to build coping skills and shift unhelpful thinking.

Existential ideas inform his work too, helping people explore meaning, responsibility, and the choices they face. He may also introduce hypnotherapy or mindfulness techniques if they fit a client’s goals and comfort level. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth.

David aims to make therapy feel natural rather than clinical. He practices in Missouri and conducts work in English only.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online work and everyday struggles

David blends Existential therapy with a person-centered attitude to help people clarify meaning and values. Existential work focuses on questions of purpose, choice, and responsibility and can be useful for people facing life transitions, grief, or questions about identity.

He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and following what matters most to each person. This approach helps people feel heard while they decide their next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used selectively, targets patterns of thinking and behavior that keep stress and anxiety active and offers practical strategies to change them.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options during early sessions and adjust methods based on the client’s goals, comfort, and progress. Clients often try a mix of approaches to see what fits best.

Online therapy with him is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow fuller conversation and visual connection, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins and flexible timing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep consistent momentum between sessions.
