About David
David Rogers is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 30 years of experience. He helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, eating concerns, and major life changes. He aims to make it easier to take that first step toward feeling better.
He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what worries them. Sessions focus on understanding immediate problems and finding practical steps to manage them. This can include pacing through panic, building coping skills for anxiety, or sorting out difficult family dynamics.
David frames work as a collaboration. He listens first, then helps people set clear, realistic goals. He encourages small, doable changes that fit into everyday life rather than overwhelming plans.
Over three decades he has helped people navigate eating and food-related issues, codependency, communication problems, fatherhood questions, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and midlife transitions. That experience informs flexible ways to approach problems rather than a single method.
He supports people facing panic disorder and panic attacks by focusing on immediate strategies to reduce intensity and on longer-term ways to lower recurrence. He also helps those working through family of origin concerns and relationship patterns that affect daily life.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
David uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety and panic and to address relationship and family concerns. One common approach focuses on skills that reduce immediate anxiety symptoms, such as breathing and grounding strategies, and step-by-step exposure practices to lower panic intensity over time. These methods teach concrete actions to use when symptoms rise and aim to make those moments feel more manageable.Another approach centers on problem-solving and communication skills for relationships and family issues. This involves clarifying patterns, practicing clearer ways to express needs, and rehearsing new behaviors that improve day-to-day interactions. For eating and food-related issues he brings a practical focus on habits, triggers, and small behavioral changes that support steadier routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will listen to concerns, review goals, and then suggest methods that fit the person’s situation and preferences. This is a collaborative process, and techniques are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session options are currently offered before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your routine and goals.
