About David
David Sullivan is a counselor based in Michigan who aims to help people move forward from stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and major life changes. He holds a Master of Arts in Counseling and a Master of Divinity, and he uses those backgrounds to listen closely and respect each person's values. He has 23 years of experience in mental health and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions.
He focuses on clear goals like improving sleep, managing anger, coping with grief, and addressing relationship and intimacy concerns. He also helps people with codependency, career planning, and navigating ADHD-related challenges. His approach blends practical skills with attention to personal meaning and daily habits.
David often uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. He combines that with client-centered listening, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to support change one step at a time. He says he does not impose his personal beliefs on clients and works to align goals with each person’s values.
He has experience across a broad range of issues including trauma and abuse, substance concerns, parenting stresses, chronic illness, and caregiver strain. He notes relatively less experience with LGBTQ clients. He works with people in the United States and Canada and is able to work with international clients in other regions as well.
To start, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How David’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a place to be heard and to shape goals around their own values and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot thoughts and habits that keep problems going and then try small, practical changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with stress.
Mindfulness Therapy adds short practices to help reduce reactivity and build calm in daily life. These techniques can support work on anger, grief, and ongoing worry.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust as progress is made.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full session is not needed. Talk with the therapist after matching to decide how to arrange sessions so they fit into everyday life.
