About David
David Hopkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with eight years of experience as an LPC and professional work in the mental health field since 2006. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger, and depression. Sessions focus on practical strategies and clear steps rather than jargon. He communicates directly and uses familiar language to make sessions easier to follow.
Hopkins draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients change unhelpful thoughts and build emotion regulation skills. He helps people break down overwhelming problems into manageable steps. For someone dealing with social withdrawal, impulsivity, or mood shifts, this approach looks at patterns of thinking, behavior, and coping skills.
He also supports people working through relationship-related issues like attachment concerns, abandonment feelings, communication problems, or the aftermath of separation. Discussions often include practical communication techniques and ways to set boundaries or regain a sense of control over day-to-day decisions.
When grief, guilt, or shame are present, Hopkins offers straightforward ways to process those emotions and choose actions that align with a person’s goals. Financial or life-purpose stressors are addressed with problem-solving and planning rather than abstract advice.
Sessions are organized around clear goals and a plan to track progress. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin working on specific, measurable steps.
How CBT and DBT inform online sessions
David Hopkins uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as practical frameworks during sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and the behaviors that follow, which can help with anxiety, mood issues, and negative self-talk. DBT emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive actions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your needs, goals, and preferences and help decide whether CBT, DBT, or a blend fits best. This is a collaborative decision and can change as progress is tracked.
The profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let people use sessions during a lunch break or from a quieter location at home. Talk with the therapist about what session rhythm and tools will work best for practical day-to-day life.
