About David

David Krych is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with 19 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship struggles, grief, and issues around intimacy and parenting. He also addresses codependency, caregiver strain, body image concerns, and life changes.

Krych draws on decades of varied work. Early in his career he supported adolescents who were involved with the juvenile justice system. Later he stepped away from counseling, spent time working outdoors, and walked his own path through recovery from alcohol and addiction. That lived experience informs how he talks about substance use and recovery with people now.

He focuses on getting to know each person’s goals and experience before suggesting next steps. Sessions often include practical skills, reflection on patterns that keep people stuck, and strategies for handling difficult emotions and triggers. He emphasizes self-acceptance as a foundation for change.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation about behavior, coping, and relationships. Krych uses approaches that help people recognize unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of relating to others. He helps people practice setting boundaries and managing urges when addiction or codependent patterns show up.

His style is collaborative. He works to identify strengths and build on them. People who want concrete steps alongside conversation about meaning and choices often find his approach useful.

How sessions work

How his approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people clarify goals, feel heard, and identify their own next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It offers concrete tools for managing anxiety, cravings, and unhelpful thinking patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to how people experience and express emotions in relationships, which can help with intimacy and communication problems.

Deciding which approach or mix to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past attempts, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust as needed so sessions focus on what helps the person move forward.

Session format details are not specified here, so confirm the options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They let people work on emotion regulation, boundary practice, and relapse prevention from wherever fits their schedule, while the therapist recommends techniques and homework that suit the person’s daily life.
