About David

David Rossetti is a New York LCSW-R with 28 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related concerns. He also lists many related focus areas such as codependency, attachment issues, and communication problems.

David speaks plainly in sessions and emphasizes clear communication. He helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck, for example always putting others first or avoiding hard conversations. In practical work he focuses on improving how people set boundaries and say no when needed.

In longer-term work he helps people process past wounds from family of origin problems, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, and domestic violence. He also supports those facing fertility concerns, hospice and end-of-life stress, and HIV/AIDS related challenges. His practice addresses the emotional impact of first responder or military service where relevant.

Sessions look at how relationship habits and past attachments shape current feelings. David pays attention to shame, guilt, and identity factors such as gender dysphoria while helping people build clearer communication with others. He balances emotional processing with concrete steps clients can try between sessions.

He works in English from New York and does not take international clients. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life

David works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine emotion-focused work with skills practice. One common approach helps people identify and change unhelpful relationship patterns by tracing how past attachments affect current behavior. This is useful for people who keep putting others first or who struggle to set limits.

Another frequently used method focuses on practical communication skills and behavioral strategies. These tools teach concrete ways to ask for what you need, say no, and manage anxiety in interactions. That work pairs well with processing trauma and feelings like shame or guilt when those come up.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, what has helped or not helped before, and preferences for pacing and focus. Together they decide what techniques to try and adjust the plan over time based on what works.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use a mix of talking and short skills practice to help apply changes between sessions.
