About David
David Hanizeski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with eight years of experience. He focuses on helping people affected by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and intimacy-related struggles. David aims to make the first step easier for someone reaching out for help.
His sessions emphasize a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly about difficult feelings. He listens for patterns in thoughts and behavior, then works with each person to set clear, doable goals.
How David works
Conversations include practical strategies for managing anxiety, mood shifts, and day-to-day stress. David draws on several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. He uses client-centered techniques to build a trusting relationship, cognitive behavioral strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking, and dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotion regulation and coping skills.
He also brings psychodynamic ideas into longer-term work that looks at deeper patterns from the past. People turn to him for help with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar mood issues, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and intimacy or commitment struggles. He also addresses attachment issues, codependency, dissociation, and the effects of divorce and separation.
Sessions are straightforward and focused on what will help most in daily life. David supports people as they try new ways of responding to stress and relationships, and he adjusts the approach as needs change.

How David’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-centered work focuses on building a supportive relationship. In practice this means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead, helping people name feelings and priorities so they feel heard and understood.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them against reality. It usually involves short exercises and practical homework to reduce anxiety, depressive thinking, and unhelpful behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete tools for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Skills include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness useful for anger, impulsivity, and intense mood shifts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative process lets the plan change as progress is noticed or challenges arise.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send messages between sessions or choose a lower-intensity way to stay connected. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep regular momentum toward goals.
