About David
David Ordan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin. He brings five years of clinical experience and focuses on relationship and career concerns alongside parenting and family challenges. He often helps people whose careers have stalled or whose relationships feel stuck.
David also supports those coping with grief, low self-esteem, burnout, and the emptiness that follows big life changes. Sessions are practical and goal-focused, aimed at finding small, workable steps forward.
How David works
David uses a client-centered stance that looks for strengths you already have. He pairs that with approaches that help clarify values and choices. Together he and a client map out achievable changes for day-to-day life and relationships.
In sessions he explores how key relationships have shaped current patterns. From there he helps clients build on existing abilities and experiment with new behaviors. Work may include improving communication, sorting through blended family tensions, or navigating separation and fatherhood issues.
He describes his role as collaborative and coaching-oriented. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, focused feedback, and practical homework between sessions. The aim is steady progress toward clearer goals and a more satisfying life.
David sees clients who want help with intimacy issues, career transitions, compassion fatigue, or making sense of family of origin struggles. He works with people across sexual orientations and gender identities and holds a Master of Science in Clinical Counseling.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It is useful for coping with grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions by focusing on values-driven behavior. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the client's experience, using empathetic listening and reflective feedback to build insight and confidence. This approach can help people who feel stuck, isolated, or unsure about their next steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and reading body language. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a lunch break. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing coaching-style contact and quick reflections between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and try different ways of working until the best fit is found.
