About David
David Hanizeski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin with eight years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space so people can talk about what matters most to them.
He listens first and then helps clients set clear goals. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep problems going and try simple, repeatable tools to change them.
Background and approach
He uses straightforward techniques people can practice between sessions. David draws on client-centered ideas to make sessions feel collaborative. He also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
For people who struggle with intense emotions, he brings in dialectical behavior techniques to teach coping skills. Many people come for help with anxiety, stress, work or relationship strain, grief, or mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms. He also supports people dealing with attention differences, anger, self-esteem, and identity issues related to LGBT concerns.
In sessions David aims to be direct but kind. He helps people try small changes that add up over time. The focus is on usable steps that match each person's life and goals.
Approach and online care that fits your routine
David often uses client-centered work that prioritizes your experience and goals. That means sessions begin with listening and understanding your concerns, then shaping the plan around what matters to you. It helps for relationship strain, identity questions, and everyday stress.He also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and attention-related struggles because it gives concrete steps to try between sessions.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review options and work with each person to decide what feels best. Goals, life demands, and personal preferences guide those choices rather than one fixed method.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you have fuller conversations and read body language. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or daily skill practice easier to fit into a busy schedule. These formats let people keep therapy steady around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
