About David
Dr. David Goodman is a Wisconsin psychologist with 29 years of experience. He works with adults on common life problems such as stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, mood disorders, addiction, relationship issues, and grief. He also supports people dealing with trauma, intimacy struggles, self-esteem challenges, ADHD, and career or life-change stress.
He keeps explanations straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills practice, and talking through the problems that come up at home. He blends methods from cognitive-behavioral work and therapies that look at attachment and emotional experience to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
Assessment and measurement are part of his approach. He uses structured testing tools to identify contributing factors and to track progress over time. That helps make each session concrete and focused on next steps rather than vague plans.
His style is collaborative and goal-oriented. He will outline specific strategies to manage anxiety, anger, or mood swings and offer ways to handle parenting stress and communication problems. The emphasis is on actions people can use between sessions to reduce day-to-day strain.
Dr. Goodman draws on several evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. He works with adults in English and is based in Wisconsin, with experience across a wide range of clinical concerns.
How sessions work
How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take small actions that fit their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and parenting stress when deciding what to prioritize in everyday life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and on practicing alternative responses. That approach is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and patterns that affect relationships at home.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will review what’s most helpful based on the client’s goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those aims. The process is collaborative and adjustments are made if something is not working.
The biography does not specify which session formats are provided online, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, fit sessions around childcare or work, or avoid travel time. It also allows the therapist to assign between-session practice and review progress using assessment tools so the work stays practical and measurable.
