About David
Dr. David Posipanka is a licensed professional counselor with 30 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting struggles, depression, and life transitions. He aims to create a calm space where people can speak honestly and begin to make changes.
He uses straightforward, person-centered work to help people feel heard. That means sessions focus on the client's experience and goals rather than a strict agenda. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more workable ways of thinking.
Motivational interviewing is part of his approach for people facing addiction or ambivalence about change. That method helps a person find their own reasons to move forward. Mindfulness tools are offered to manage stress, improve focus, and reduce reactivity in daily life.
In practice he listens first, then helps people set small, realistic steps toward their goals. He encourages direct talk about difficult feelings like shame, guilt, or anger, and he supports practical problem solving for parenting and everyday stressors. He works from Pennsylvania and offers services in English.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Posipanka often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice what they think, test those thoughts, and try different behaviors. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep a person stuck. He also uses motivational interviewing to help people who feel uncertain about change, which is useful for addictions and habit change.Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will listen to concerns, discuss possible methods, and adjust the plan as goals evolve. Clients are invited to share what feels most helpful so sessions can be tailored to their needs and preferences.
