David Routly, LPC

David Routly is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 18 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, anger, and relationship concerns. He focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier. He writes simply and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.

In sessions he uses a straightforward, person-centered style. He helps clients set small goals and practice new ways of coping between meetings. He draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to change unhelpful thinking and on dialectical skills to manage intense emotions.

David also works with trauma-related issues using methods designed to reduce painful memories and their hold on daily life. He supports conversations about intimacy, communication, and attachment so people can make clearer choices in relationships. He pays attention to how past losses and family patterns shape current struggles.

Clients can expect a calm, steady presence and practical tools to try at home. He explains techniques in plain language and checks in about what is or isn’t helping. Progress is tracked with realistic steps rather than promises of a quick fix.

David practices in Georgia and offers services in English. He has focused work with concerns such as parenting, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, body image, codependency, and areas including adoption and foster care or blended family issues.

How David’s approaches can fit into online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so people feel heard and can decide their own goals. This helps when someone needs support sorting values, relationships, or life direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and teaches specific tools to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and trouble managing stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for handling intense emotions and improving communication. It can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationship conflicts keep repeating.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about your needs and goals and suggest approaches to try together. If one method doesn’t help, adjustments are part of the plan rather than a failure.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making scheduling around work or family simpler. Talk with the therapist during the match and scheduling steps about what will work best for your routine.
