About David
David Rogers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 30 years of experience. He helps adults who are carrying stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, or eating and food-related issues. He also works with people facing life changes and struggles around guilt and shame.
He keeps sessions direct and practical. He encourages people to say what they are worried about and to look at how those worries affect daily life. He focuses on clear communication and developing ways to handle panic, impulsive responses, or moments when shame takes over.
David has worked with fathers and men on issues that often come up in midlife, including identity, responsibility, and changing family roles. He also addresses codependency and family of origin issues by talking through patterns that repeat over time. Sessions include straightforward conversations about behavior, choices, and small steps to try between meetings.
He aims to create a setting where people can speak honestly about difficult feelings without fear of being judged. He listens for practical changes that can reduce overwhelm and improve relationships. People who want help sorting guilt, repairing communication, or finding steadier coping tools often come to him.
To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location.
How evidence-based approaches guide online work
David describes his practice as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear thinking and behavior change. One common approach is cognitive-based work that identifies unhelpful thoughts contributing to anxiety, guilt, or shame and tests those thoughts against real-life evidence. This can help reduce panic and lessen the urge to act impulsively.Another frequent strategy is skills-based work aimed at improving communication and coping. That involves practicing short, specific skills for handling conflict, managing stress, or stabilizing eating-related behaviors between sessions. These skills are practical and meant to be used in daily life.
Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That collaborative process includes checking what helps and adjusting methods where needed.
The precise session formats offered should be confirmed before booking. If you plan to use online sessions, consider practical benefits such as fitting appointments around work or family demands, cutting travel time, and making shorter check-ins easier to schedule. Those options can make regular therapy easier to maintain while you try new ways of handling guilt, shame, anxiety, or relationship strain.
