David Ordan, LPC

David Ordan focuses primarily on couples counseling and provides targeted support for men navigating career changes and dating challenges. He frames therapy around helping people reclaim a hopeful vision for the future when work, relationships, or past experiences have made that future feel uncertain. He earned an MS in Clinical Counseling from Mount Mary University in Milwaukee and practices as an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor, which indicates formal training and a state license to provide mental health care.

His clinical work is grounded in Solution Focused Brief Counseling, an approach that emphasizes identifying practical strengths and building on them to create meaningful change. He begins by exploring important relationships and how they have shaped a person over time, then partners with clients to strengthen the resilient, capable parts of their personality so those qualities can show up in daily life. His experience includes working with singles and couples as well as men pursuing career transition counseling, and he has worked with people of all faiths, gender identities, and sexual orientations.

If someone is seeking help with building a better career future, resolving relationship difficulties, or coming to terms with painful memories to move forward, David offers a collaborative, strengths-focused approach and is available to work toward those goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps people clarify their personal values and take small, committed steps toward them while learning practical ways to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. It often supports work on life transitions, purpose, and coping with painful experiences.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client is the expert on their own life and the therapist provides empathy and support to encourage growth and self-discovery. This approach is helpful for improving self-esteem, exploring identity, and strengthening decision-making.

Gottman Method is a research-informed approach used primarily with couples to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and rebuild connection through specific skills and exercises. It is commonly applied to relationship repair, intimacy issues, and recurring patterns of conflict.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process. David will work collaboratively with each person or couple to identify which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules or to access care from different locations. For many people, these options increase accessibility and continuity of support while working toward their goals with licensed professionals and therapists.
