About David
David Sprouse is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of counseling-specific experience. He practices in Virginia and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma, depression, parenting strain, and related concerns.
He draws on a long career in healthcare alongside his counseling work. That background includes years in addiction services and a leadership role at a medication assisted treatment center. He uses practical, down-to-earth language in sessions and keeps the tone relaxed and professional.
Sessions focus on what a person is dealing with now. David listens, helps identify unhelpful patterns, and suggests approaches that can change everyday routines and thinking. He often uses client-centered conversation combined with techniques from cognitive behavioral and emotion-focused approaches.
He also brings in mindfulness and narrative methods when they fit a person's goals. Those tools are used to notice stress, reframe stories people tell about themselves, and practice small, manageable changes.
People looking for help with parenting stress, family problems, or substance concerns will find concrete problem solving and coaching-style support. David asks practical questions, works collaboratively on goals, and helps people develop steps they can try between sessions.
If you decide to reach out, expect straightforward talk about what you want to change and a plan to test new ways of coping. Booking starts by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following a person's concerns, giving room to talk through parenting stress, relationship strain, or addiction-related worries. It is about reflective conversation and practical problem solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small, testable changes that reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or curb unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to patterns in emotional responding and helps people notice and change how they react in close relationships.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client, weigh what feels practical, and adjust the plan as goals and needs become clearer. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, keep shorter check-ins during a break, avoid travel time, or use audio-only sessions when video is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for remote sessions so the work remains focused on goals and usable between meetings.
