About David
David Demorest is an LPC who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and life changes. He brings a calm, down-to-earth presence to sessions and focuses on building a trusting working relationship. David’s practical style is aimed at clear goals and steady progress.
He combines a background in mental health counseling with earlier study and work in biology, biochemistry, and radiochemistry. That scientific experience shaped how he thinks about behavior and problem solving. He uses straightforward methods to help people understand patterns and try new ways of coping.
In sessions he starts by listening and identifying the most pressing concerns. Together with each person he develops a plan that addresses those issues. The plan can change over time as new problems or improvements appear.
David’s approach draws on client-centered work, cognitive-behavioral ideas, mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, and hypnotherapy. He has also used biofeedback and neurofeedback as tools for issues such as anxiety, depression, and addiction. If a concern is outside his scope he may suggest another clinician who focuses on that area.
Outside of practice he spends time in Idaho and near Jackson Hole when possible. He enjoys skiing, canoeing, fly fishing, and being in nature, and he values a balanced life built around familiar routines and outdoor time.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a strong working relationship. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhealthy habits. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short, present-moment practices to lower stress and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people join from locations that are more convenient for them. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, homework, and pacing so therapy remains practical and focused even when not in person.
