About David
David Yoder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with six years of clinical experience. He centers his work on a person-centered approach that keeps the client's experience at the center. He often meets people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship problems, and life transitions. His style aims to make sessions feel natural and straightforward so people can talk without pressure.
He frames common labels like anxiety or addiction as starting points rather than fixed boxes. He listens for how each person experiences their concerns and helps them shape a clearer picture of the life they want. To do this he draws on skills from cognitive behavioral work and dialectical behavior techniques alongside person-centered methods.
David also brings methods such as existential reflection and hypnotherapy into sessions when those tools fit a person's goals. He uses practical strategies to address sleep, anger, coping skills, and self-esteem. He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and issues around identity including LGBT matters.
Clients can expect conversational sessions that combine attentive listening with goal-focused tools. He emphasizes collaboration and gradual change rather than quick fixes. He practices in Missouri and provides services in English.

How specific approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client feels heard and can explore their own goals. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, respectful space to sort out feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete tools to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and symptoms of ADHD by teaching practical skills to manage day-to-day challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating stress. It can be useful for people who need stronger coping strategies for impulsivity, anger, or self-regulation difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make the most sense for their goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as needs shift.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about scheduling, session length, and how the subscription model works when you complete the matching questionnaire.
