David Yoder, LPC

With six years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), David Yoder concentrates his practice on what he describes as fear-based struggles. He works with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and the lingering effects of past experiences, while recognizing that diagnostic labels often feel like boxes rather than full descriptions of a person’s situation.

David approaches counseling as an art and centers his work in a person-centered framework inspired by Carl Rogers. He believes that a supportive, empathetic therapeutic relationship can itself open the door to meaningful change, and he pairs that stance with a flexible set of clinical tools when appropriate. His goal is to help individuals identify and then create the life they want, shaping the therapeutic process around each person’s unique needs and pace.

To meet varied needs, David draws from a wide range of modalities, selecting techniques that may include dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, internal family systems, breathwork, yoga, transactional analysis, hypnotherapy, existential therapy, trauma-focused work, and rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT). He aims to combine these methods with a person-centered foundation so that clinical techniques support the individual rather than dictate the process.
