About David
Dr. David Goodman is a Wisconsin psychologist (WI Psychologist 2581-57) with 29 years of experience. He works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, grief, and codependency. He also supports people coping with parenting challenges, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and intimacy-related issues.
He prefers direct, practical conversations. Sessions focus on what the client is facing now and what they want to change. Dr. Goodman uses clear explanations and measurable steps rather than vague talk. He makes time to check progress so people can see whether their work is helping.
His work draws on cognitive behavioral methods to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques help people notice what matters and act toward those values when emotions run high.
Dr. Goodman blends these approaches with client-centered listening, and he can use DBT skills for emotion regulation when needed. He uses testing tools to get a baseline and to track change over time. The goal is practical skills and clearer decisions, not academic theory.
Sessions are offered in English and he takes international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Goodman commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral approaches in his work. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values, which can help with codependency and anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior patterns, useful for stress, depression, and relationship routines.He also brings attachment-based ideas into sessions, looking at how early relationship patterns influence present reactions. That can be helpful for intimacy questions and recurring patterns in close relationships. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative; the therapist and client work together to see what fits the person’s goals, preferences, and the problems they want to change.
The biography notes experience with telehealth since 2020. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Many people find online work easier to fit into a day, because it removes travel and can allow shorter check-ins or sessions that better match a lunch break or evening schedule. Phone options can be useful when less bandwidth is available or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adjust pace and skills practice to suit remote sessions, and the therapist uses testing tools to track progress over time.
