About David
Dr. David Goodman is a licensed psychologist practicing in Wisconsin. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, ADHD, relationship concerns, parenting stress, grief, trauma, and other life changes. He brings 29 years of experience to sessions and frames therapy as a collaborative effort aimed at clearer choices and steadier coping.
He favors approaches that help people notice what matters, change unhelpful thinking, and strengthen close bonds. In plain terms he uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to build practical skills for daily life. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas shape how he listens and helps people feel understood.
Dr. Goodman combines assessment with therapy. He uses an electronic testing platform to clarify problems and to track progress over time. That helps make goals concrete and shows when change is happening.
He began offering telehealth in 2020 and has experience using distance sessions alongside in-person work. He frames therapy with optimism and respect, focusing on steps a person can take between sessions to reduce stress and improve relationships.
Clients can expect straightforward explanations, measurable goals, and an emphasis on skills they can use right away. The first step is a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling to begin work together.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change how someone copes with mood, anxiety, and addictive urges. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how close relationships shape feelings and behavior and can help with intimacy issues and relationship distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He treats therapy as a team effort and will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as issues change or progress is made.
The biography indicates he has provided telehealth since 2020, so online sessions are part of his practice. Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work and family life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people access care from different locations or time zones. Licensed professionals can use distance sessions to teach skills, review test results, and track progress just as they would in person.
