About David
Dr. David Posipanka is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 30 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, parenting struggles, and depression. He offers steady support while people take early steps toward change. He focuses on listening closely and creating a space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.
He tends to work in a straightforward way. Sessions often involve talking through what feels most urgent, noticing patterns, and trying small, practical steps between meetings. He draws on approaches that help people understand how their thinking and choices affect mood and behavior, and how meaning and values shape everyday decisions.
Dr. Posipanka has supported people facing a wide range of life challenges. This includes coping with illness, grief, abandonment issues, codependency, issues around fatherhood, and the stress that follows separation or divorce. He also has experience with addiction and first responder concerns.
His style blends active listening with tools that people can use right away. That can mean working on clearer boundaries, breaking down unhelpful thinking, or practicing grounding and mindfulness skills. He encourages steady progress rather than overnight change.
People who choose him can expect direct talk, practical suggestions, and a focus on building daily routines that feel manageable. He invites people to try approaches and adjust them to fit what actually works in their lives.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Posipanka uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices that adapt well to remote sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says, helping them feel understood and guiding the conversation to their priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful habits and ease anxiety or depression. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help with stress and cravings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process guides whether sessions lean more toward skill-building, reflective conversation, or brief motivational check-ins.
The biography does not list specific remote session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow for flexible scheduling around work or parenting needs. It also lets people try techniques during real-life moments and then discuss how they went in the next meeting.
