About David

Dr. David Goodman, WI Psychologist 2581-57, has 29 years of practice in Wisconsin. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, and parenting concerns. He also addresses relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem in clinical work.

Goodman uses straightforward talk therapy combined with practical strategies. He draws on cognitive behavioral approaches and client-centered methods to help people change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills.

Sessions include assessment and progress tracking to keep goals clear. Testing tools are used to clarify symptoms and measure change over time. Treatment plans are discussed in everyday language and adjusted as needed.

He frames therapy as collaborative problem-solving. Goals and techniques are chosen with the person's priorities in mind. The approach mixes skill teaching, behavior change, and attention to relationship patterns.

Goodman has worked with a wide range of life challenges related to career, chronic health issues, caregiving stress, body image, and blended family dynamics.

Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior with practical exercises to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early connections shape current interactions, which can help with intimacy and communication problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist reviews goals and preferences and recommends methods that fit the person's situation. That plan can change as progress is tracked and new needs emerge.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and can reduce travel time. They also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not required and help people get support when they are located outside the therapist's immediate area. Licensed professionals will discuss what formats they offer and how to schedule sessions that work with daily routines.
