David Hanizeski, LPC

David Hanizeski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with eight years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflicts, mental illness, and intimacy-related concerns, offering practical support and understanding as clients navigate their challenges.

He emphasizes an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment, and he collaborates with clients to explore concerns and develop steps toward clearer coping and healthier connections. David recognizes that beginning therapy often requires courage and affirms clients for taking that first step toward change.

Drawing on his clinical experience, he aims to provide steady, respectful guidance while helping each person find approaches that fit their needs and goals. His practice is focused on listening closely, building trust, and helping clients move forward at a pace that feels right for them.

Approaches for online therapeutic support

David Hanizeski integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to tailor online care to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes active listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients can explore their feelings and goals at their own pace - a helpful fit for relationship, intimacy, and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.

He also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to teach skills for regulating intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions, which can be useful for challenges like anger, impulsivity, and unstable interpersonal patterns. Determining which approach or combination of approaches is most helpful is a collaborative process - he works with each client to consider presenting concerns, goals, and personal preferences when shaping the plan for care.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations while still working toward meaningful progress.
