David Brand, LPCC

David Brand, LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor), brings a practical and compassionate approach to therapy rooted in both clinical training and lived experience. With three years of professional practice, he focuses on helping individuals navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep difficulties, parenting concerns, anger, and a range of related struggles including ADHD and compassion fatigue.

His background includes an undergraduate degree in education, and he integrates a teacher's clarity into sessions to help people learn skills and perspectives that support change. David describes himself as a man of faith, and that outlook helps him approach each person with a hopeful view of their capacity for growth. He is also a husband of twenty years and a father, experiences that inform his understanding of family life and the balance of strength and strain that many families face.

Clinically, David draws from an array of evidence-informed approaches to tailor work to each person’s needs. His toolkit includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Existential Therapy, the Gottman Method, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. He emphasizes building a strong therapeutic relationship, listening for what is both said and left unsaid, and using a mix of joining, challenging, and teaching to support progress.

David invites individuals who are ready to explore change to connect and consider a collaborative path toward improved coping and well-being, meeting people where they are and working alongside them toward meaningful goals.
