About David
David Hopkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of counseling experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, grief, and depression. He aims to listen without judgment and to create a straightforward plan that fits each person's needs.
He uses practical, skills-based approaches in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches coping skills for intense emotions and impulsive urges.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. David works with clients to set small, achievable steps and to practice new skills between meetings. He adjusts the pace and tools to match where someone is starting from and what they want to change.
People often come for short-term help with a specific problem, like anger or a relapse, or for longer work on mood and relationships. He addresses related concerns such as attachment issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, and life-purpose questions as part of the overall plan. David holds a Master of Science and the LPC credential.
He practices in Mississippi and conducts sessions in English. If someone prefers a method that isn’t working, he will review other options and adapt the approach to better fit the person’s goals.

CBT and DBT approaches for online care
David uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT often focuses on clear steps and homework, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and problem behaviors.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can be useful for strong mood changes, impulsivity, and managing urges linked to addictions.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods for a few sessions, and adjust plans based on what is helpful. This collaborative process helps find the best fit for a person's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations for skills demonstration, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help people fit counseling into work, caregiving, or busy days.
