David Demorest helps people facing anxiety, stress, addiction, grief, mood struggles, and major life changes.
01About David
David Demorest helps people facing anxiety, stress, addiction, grief, mood struggles, and major life changes. He writes treatment plans with each person and checks progress as therapy continues. People who value practical steps and clear goals may find his style fits well.
David holds a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling and practices as an LPC - licensed professional counselor - in Idaho. He brings 19 years of counseling experience and a prior scientific career to his work.
Background and approach
That combination informs how he talks about behavior and mental health with clients. In sessions he focuses first on building a trusting working relationship. He listens to what a person wants to change, and together they identify concrete problems to address.
From there he creates a treatment plan with steps the client can try between sessions. David uses a mix of approaches depending on the issue. He draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, solution-focused ideas, and hypnotherapy when it fits a person’s needs.
The plan is adjusted over time if new challenges emerge. He will reassess progress at the end of a plan and either set new goals or make a referral if another approach would better serve the client. Outside of work he spends time in Idaho and the mountains, enjoys fly fishing and skiing, and has traveled extensively.

04Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping the client set the pace and goals for sessions. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings and decide what to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful behaviors. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help with symptoms like anxiety, cravings, or habit patterns when a client is open to it.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns, try methods that match your goals, and adjust techniques over time if something else seems more useful. You and the therapist work together to pick tools and steps that fit your day-to-day life.
Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video lets you use visual cues and deeper conversation, phone is helpful when bandwidth or camera use is limited, chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports short updates or ongoing exercises. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel, and daily demands.
