How David works
He describes therapy as a collaborative process where goals are set together and progress is tracked over time. His approach blends several well-known methods, including cognitive-behavioral techniques and work that attends to attachment patterns. That mix is adapted to each person’s situation so therapy stays focused and relevant.
He also uses tools to measure progress so people can see change in concrete terms. Sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging when that format fits the person’s needs. He accepts clients in Wisconsin and also works with international clients in English.
His credential is listed as WI Psychologist 2581-57. People who reach out can expect a calm, practical clinician who emphasizes skills, clarity, and steady progress. The first steps are simple: click Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session according to availability.

Online support options
How evidence-based approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It highlights values and small actions that move someone toward a meaningful life and can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and often helps with anxiety, mood, and anger problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, what has or has not helped before, and personal preferences. Together they choose or combine methods that feel like a good fit and check progress along the way.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and longer sessions, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
