More about me

Licensing: LPC Years in Practice: 10 State: Georgia

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Georgia and have been practicing for over 10 years. I have worked in multiple settings across the system of care in Georgia and as a result have worked with a wide variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, psychosis, substance abuse as well as career and relationship issues. I recognize that each of us is faced with our own unique challenges and my role is to help you recognize your individual strengths that you possess in order to help you utilize your own special innate abilities to tackle the challenges you face today while also helping you equip yourself for those that may come down the road.

I am client-centered and maintain an existential approach to therapy utilizing empathy, compassion, warmth and understanding . I tailor my therapeutic approach to you and meet you where you are. Together we will work to face your specific needs and work in tandem to handle your times of fear, uncertainty, or worry. You are not alone in this and I applaud the courage you have taken to get here. I very much look forward to working with you to help you build your gifts and strengths on this journey.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

David is great at understanding my problems and explaining to me how I need to tackle them. Working with him has made my mental health significantly better and added so much to my life.

I have had only once meeting with David and that meeting went very well. I am very much looking forward to build this relationship.

He's terrific. It's very sad that I'm having to change counselors now that I'm moving, but he's really someone who goes above and beyond to make sure your experiences are validated and that you know you're important. It's truly a healing process with him, and I'll be taking all the progress I've made with him to my next counselor. He's a gem, and you're going to be very lucky in you match with him.

David is an absolute pleasure to work with!

David is a great listener. He is super helpful and authentic in his responses. I am fortunate to be able to work with him.

David is an extremely professional therapist who knows how to get to know someone and be personable without crossing that line. I feel extremely at ease with him. He’s helped me through some major transitions in my life and with marriage issues after I returned from a long time away from home. Very thankful for his help.

David is a top notch therapist who genuinely cares.

Amazing advise from David! He helped me through anxiety and lots of issues with depression. He even helped me do better in my relationships.

David is very professional, kind, and understanding. He has done a great job of relating to me and my military life even though he is not in the military himself which is a huge thing for me. He has helped me realize things about myself that I never would have seen.

My only concern is that there aren’t enough options to have video conference

Very respectful, engaged and interested. He has a ton of experience and can enlighten me on anything that comes up .

David is an amazing therapist. He has helped me get out of some of the darkest moments and has cheered me on through my victories. He respects my own life experience, and advocates for me to realize my own potential, at my own pace. I have had a lifelong struggle with depression and self-hatred, and my sessions with David have resulted in breakthroughs that have brought me to happy tears. He is the absolute best therapist. He tells me what I need to hear in a compassionate and supportive way. Our sessions feel genuine and authentic, and I look forward to hearing his guidance, whether I'm at my best or at my worst.

David is second to none and his superpower is consistency!

David is super attentive and helpful for me. I struggle a lot with several issues and no matter how many messages I send or how much is going on in my life, I always know I can send him a message and he'll respond that day or the next.

David genuinely cares for his clients.

David has become a trusted advisor in my life! He offers a safe and positive space to talk through issues, concerns and life. Highly recommend him!

David was an absolute blessing and terrific help during a rough time in my life!!

David is always very attentive as a therapist. He has helped me look at situations in my life from a healthy standpoint and guided me in working through trauma and points of difficulty.

David understands my complicated lifestyle and upbringing.. he’s completely open with my concerns even if they are not part of his listed expertise.. I completely adore his ability to take in my concerns openly and dissect them and fill me in and explain why things happen the way that they do so that I can process my life without questioning everything like I always do .. I highly recommend him to anyone with complicated factors

David has been amazing thus far! I am currently working to process trauma for the first time in my life and his approach using empathy and compassion is making it a bit less painful. So thankful for him!

David is hands down the most respectful, professional, and empathetic therapist I’ve ever worked with and I have worked with a lot of them!

Excellent care thus far.

David is an amazing person. He has really helped me through some tough times. Through our conversations, I have been learning and exploring myself, why I am the way I am, and how to improve on that. I don't ever feel judged when working with David. I would truly recommend him.

David is an amazing therapist. I would really recommend him to anybody. He responds to me whenever he gets the chance and always has insightful things to say. I have yet to have my video session with David but he has helped me so much just through the messaging section in such a short amount of time.

David is super responsive and a great counselor. When i tell him about issues going on in my life, he asks questions and offers productive ways for me to deal with the situation. He makes me feel seen and heard and he helps me work on what i want to get better.

David is a compassionate and skilled therapist. His authenticity helps me to feel safe to express myself more openly and get the support that I need. I highly recommend this therapist to anyone who wants to put in the work to heal and grow in their life.

David’s the best!

David has been a huge help for me during a very tough work and personal time. He is patient and listens to what I have to say. He offers helpful suggestions and tips to cope with some of the emotions that I have. The other thing that I truly appreciate about David is that I think he can anticipate “what’s coming next” in where my feelings are going to go. He gently guides me and prepares me for that next step. I can’t speak highly enough about David and how much he helps me.

Excellent counselor who really empathizes with you, will recommend to anyone going through depression or anxiety.

David has been great. Very tuned in during our sessions and helping me to work on reconnecting with my feelings. He is also consistent about reaching out between session to check in. Even tho I am not a texting person I still appreciate knowing he is there and checking in.

David has been amazing!! I can't say enough great things about him and how much he has helped me these few months in my sessions. I needed help to cope with the pandemic and to try and overcome my anxiety for how much of my life has changed. Covid just made me feel more isolated and depressed but he helped me find ways to keep my outlook positive and find ways to keep myself busy, active and feeling good about myself. Talking to David doesnt even feel like your talking to a counselor but a friend and I like how down to earth he is and how comfortable he makes you feel talking about things and feelings that may be difficult to talk about or express to others. I would highly recommend him to anyone going through the same things I went through.

Speaking with David was my first time as an adult speaking with a professional for my mental health. I was a bit nervous about it, but 1 minute in after our introduction I felt comfortable and he made me feel like I could express myself with no judgement at all. He is relatable, even though we were only talking about me. He checks in regularly between calls and is very attentive. I handpicked him specifically and am very glad I did. I highly recommend him.

I feel like David really understands and takes the time to listen and he responds in the most professional and thought provoking ways, always with grace and care.

David is awesome. He connects with me by meeting me where I'm at. I feel comfortable sharing with him and being myself. He reaches out to me consistently, more than I reach out to him. He is everything I could ask for in a counselor and more. I appreciate his kindness, ability to explain things to me in ways I can understand, and his concern about my progress. Highly recommend working with David!

What I enjoy the most is his boldness and straightforwardness. He doesn’t beat around the bush and doesn’t say what you WANT to hear, but what you NEED to hear.

He's very professional, always respectful and responsive for any problems and concerns I present. He always listens, and is able to offer insight and sympathy.

Very friendly. He makes things easy to understand and doesnt make me feel like I'm dumb if I dont follow along.

David is the one I turn to when things at work seem really tense or anxious. David is kind and helpful and I appreciate his presence.

David is a very compassionate and knowledgeable therapist. I feel heard and understood. He is helping me feel more confident in my ability to heal from my past.

David is attentive, timely and considerate of my current state and always provides meaningful tips and advice!

So far, I strongly appreciate the open mindedness and the support to pursue my overall happiness. I send lengthy messages and I don’t feel that he skips over anything. He’s very thorough and I strongly look forward to seeing how he can further help my state of being. Thank you kindly, sir.

David as been been great as a counselor. He’s been patient and willing to listen to my problems. He’s very understanding of everything. I’ve been able to connect with him on a personal level which I haven’t been able to do with a counselor in the past. I think David Cogdell is a great counselor and would recommend him to anyone.

David is a great guy and very supportive he help me become a better me
