About David
David Routly, LPC supports men and others facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, anger, depression, and relationship concerns. He focuses on practical steps people can take to manage overwhelming feelings and move toward clearer choices. His approach aims to make therapy straightforward and useful from the first conversation.
He uses client-centered work to follow each person's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps by identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. He also draws on existential ideas and EMDR when they fit the person's history and goals.
David brings 18 years of counseling experience in Georgia to sessions. He helps people set concrete goals and practices, such as simple coping skills and communication exercises. He frames progress as small, steady changes rather than sudden fixes.
Sessions are conversational and goal oriented. He listens for what matters most and suggests techniques that can be used between meetings. People describe working on sleep, intimacy-related concerns, parenting stresses, ADHD symptoms, grief, and self-esteem with him.
For those concerned about practicalities, therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

DBT is useful when strong emotions or impulsive reactions get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then adapt methods to fit what the client needs. Sessions can mix skills training, reflective conversation, and targeted exercises so the plan feels workable.
