More about David
- 9 years' experience
- Male
- LMHC
My name is David and I have been working as a therapist for over 7 years. I started working in a group home setting in Rochester, NY where I worked for 2 years. I then transferred to a Mental Health Clinic and worked between 5-6 years providing outpatient therapy for a caseload of over 100 people. As a therapist I excel at active listening and building rapport with a wide range of individuals. I truly enjoy working with individuals on processing life events and addressing unwanted/excessive symptoms, while developing skills to help them manage things independently in the future. It is my goal to identify your strengths and develop skills to effectively manage and reduce mental health symptoms to ensure the highest quality of life possible.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

David is attentive, responsive and helpful! He always helps me to see things from a. New perspective and offers me tools for coping!
My sessions with David have been cathartic, to say the least. After 3 months, I’ve seen consistent progress and and his attention to details, and the bigger picture of my goals with therapy, are refreshing.
I started meeting with David earlier this year while going through some relationship troubles. Since that time I have met with him almost every week for 10 months and have found his expertise and style to be invaluable. He helped me navigate through some exceedingly challenging and confusing times, and I really appreciate it. I couldn't recommend David more.
Best Therapist Ever
David is a very attentive and compassionate therapist with undeniable expertise. He also has a great sense of humor and makes it so easy to build a rapport with him and open up. I really trust his opinion and always feel heard and understood after a session with him, while at the same time faced with truthfulness. I would recommend him to anyone I know who looks for a therapist, and even to those who don't, because I have no doubt that anyone would benefit from those conversations with him. Thank you, David for your kindness and professionalism.
He’s excellent. Very kind and knowledgeable.
I have been seeing David for well over a year and it has been a great experience thus far. David is very patient, listens with an empathetic ear but also offers up solutions and ways to solve issues showing that he is active and walking right there beside you in a compassionate, warm, trusting, respectful, and non-judge mental way. David is the type of therapist that just feels like a buddy you have known for a long time and can be confident and comfortable with right off the bat. I wish more therapists and counselors were like him! I plan on continuing to work with David and definitely have reaped the benefits of his care.
I came to David with concerns about my relationship and aspects of myself I wanted to work on and I have found him to be thoughtful, professional, and thorough. He has made himself available to me via video sessions and through the messaging feature and I feel very confident in his ability to help me navigate these challenges, however difficult they may be. It's been a great experience thus far.
David has been great! He really has a way of making you feel comfortable while connecting, listening, working with you on your issues. He has a great sense of humor. I would highly recommend him. He is the type of guy that you feel like you have known for a long time and can just talk to.
David is really supportive and offers practical options and guidance and then supports my decisions.
David is an amazing therapist! I think I am just so grateful to have found David when I needed that support and I have seen really big changes in the person that I am and my growth in general. I highly recommend David!
David has by far been the best therapist I've ever encountered. His empathy, professionalism and genuine passion for the role he plays, have gone a really long way in helping me get through a terrible crisis. Thank you for everything!
David has been exactly the type of therapist I need for my personal issues. David so far has made me feel very safe, heard, and always finds ways to relate to me to show he understands what it is I'm trying to articulate. He is straightforward, makes it a point to always give me someone thing to practice every week, and overall has given me so many great tools for dealing with my anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and my concerns and insecurities from a male/man perspective. I look forward to my sessions each week!
David has a very natural way of making you feel comfortable like he’s a trusted friend you’ve known for years. I wasn’t sure how it was going to be having a male therapist, but I was open to the opportunity and how pleasantly surprised I am with how well he understand/articulate my female emotions/issues/logic while also offering insight to the male perspective.
Thoughtful, insightful and empathetic
David is a wonderful therapist, that listens and truly cares for his patients. His sense of humor, the way he listens, and analogies for how to apply skills to help in real life situations made the experience with him the best. Grateful for him and his help navigating some tough stuff, and so glad he was available through better help.
David allows you to speak about what ails you, and gives decent and well thought out responses. He also opens up the conversation for long term subject exploration, especially if it’s a large issue that you may have. He allows you to explore that issue and helps address ways to cope or to relieve the problems they cause.
So lucky to have found David as my therapist!
David is amazing at challenging my method of thinking while making me feel secure and understood. I’ve had problems finding a counselor that I felt comfortable enough to talk to. It’s different with David because of the way he engages with his clients. It’s never once felt like that stuffy typical counseling experience of “how does that make you feel?” type of questioning. We start our session and before I know it- we’re wrapping up our hour and I’ve barely observed the passing of the time. Counseling for me has never been like that. Reading other reviews- other people seem to share that sentiment and I’m yet another person saying - if you’re digging around reading profiles and can’t seem to find that fit- this counselor is probably the one for you.
Thanks David I appreciate your work!
David knows how to come up with approaches to issues on the spot. It’s very comforting to know he’s capable of doing such because i know Im in safe hands. David has definitely helped me with dealing with my insecurities and doubts and filling in instead with reassurances.
David is genuinely good at connecting. He creates space in his sessions for small talk, jokes, etc. that make talking with him feel natural and comfortable, even when it's about difficult things. I also really like that he breaks down theories, thought patterns, and reactions or will even provide you with suggestions to do your own research on. He encourages you to understand your own patterns from a physiological standpoint AND a psychological one. I think he approaches his therapy sessions with a true intent to help others understand themselves and their behaviors so they can forge their own path to self acceptance & growth.
David Luce is an excellent counselor. I went to him for anxiety and stress related issues. He was a great listener, very patient, and always gave helpful advice. I was able to take notes and was provided helpful examples and resources to refer back to. Great counseling experience.
