About David
David Hanizeski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with eight years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and anger. He encourages people who are nervous about starting therapy and acknowledges the courage it takes to reach out.
He keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. David aims to create a calm space where people can talk about feelings without judgment.
Background and approach
He listens for what matters most and helps set small, realistic steps toward change. David uses tools from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral methods to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns. He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for managing strong emotions and on psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring relationship patterns.
Sessions often mix down-to-earth problem solving with attention to past patterns that keep coming up. Many people come for help with anger, grief, low self-esteem, ADHD-related struggles, or relationship strain. He also supports people facing mood disorders, identity concerns, impulse control, and challenges after separation or loss.
The focus is on what the client wants to change and what fits into daily life. Appointments are offered through online formats that fit busy schedules. David works with clients to build small practice routines and track progress between sessions.
He explains options clearly so people can choose what feels most useful.

Approach and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy is about listening and following what matters to the person in front of him. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the work by their priorities rather than a rigid plan. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling impulsive urges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. David treats the selection of methods as a team effort. He talks with each client about goals, tries techniques, and adapts plans based on what helps most in everyday life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people speak face to face when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option for low-bandwidth times or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, skill practice, and when writing out thoughts feels easier than speaking. These options support scheduling around work, family, and busy days while keeping the focus on practical progress.
