David Hanizeski , LPC

David Hanizeski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with eight years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflicts, intimacy-related concerns, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. He also supports clients dealing with grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and a range of personality and attachment issues.

David aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored. He encourages clients who take the first step toward therapy and works collaboratively to identify goals, develop coping strategies, and strengthen relationships. His practice is informed by training in Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic approaches, which he adapts to each person’s needs and circumstances.

Across a wide spectrum of concerns including LGBT issues, first responder stress, intimacy and commitment challenges, and complex emotional patterns, David focuses on practical skills and deeper understanding to help clients navigate change and build resilience. He provides services in English and is based in Wisconsin.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

David uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client's perspective and build a collaborative, empathetic relationship. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to explore feelings, relationships, and identity without pressure to follow a set agenda. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day coping challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skill-based strategies for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive behaviors, which can be helpful for anger, mood instability, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and David works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors techniques and pacing so the work fits each person's life and priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reach support from home, or maintain continuity when life is changing. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to deliver meaningful, goal-focused care that aligns with each client's routine and access needs.
