About David
Dr. David Goodman is a Wisconsin psychologist (WI Psychologist 2581-57) with 29 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, parenting, anger, mood disorders, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, career shifts, and ADHD. Sessions are presented in clear, practical language and focus on real-life steps people can use immediately.
His style centers on straightforward collaboration. He blends cognitive and relational ideas into focused work. That can mean learning skills to pause before reacting, testing new ways to talk about problems, or tracking changes over time with simple measures.
Dr. Goodman uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts and patterns that fuel anger and stress. He also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect present responses. Dialectical behavior strategies and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools may be introduced to build emotion regulation and values-guided action.
He offers practical assessments to clarify strengths and trouble spots and to measure progress. The tools are explained in plain language and used as part of short-term goal setting when helpful. Work can range from brief skills training to longer exploration of patterns that repeat across relationships.
Sessions are delivered with direct feedback and options for homework that make change manageable between meetings. Dr. Goodman encourages clear communication skills, problem-solving tactics, and small experiments clients can try in daily life to reduce snapping at loved ones, lower workplace frustration, and ease built-up resentment.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Dr. Goodman commonly works from cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep anger and anxiety active. It helps with practical skills like reframing unhelpful thoughts and testing new reactions. Attachment-based work looks at how early and adult relationships shape patterns of closeness, avoidance, and reactivity, which can reduce repeated conflict in current relationships.He also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities. DBT provides concrete skills for tolerating distress, managing intense feelings, and improving how people ask for what they need. Choosing which approaches to use is collaborative - the therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
The biography indicates telehealth has been part of his work since 2020. Please confirm the current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, reduce travel, and let clients practice new communication skills in everyday settings. The therapist will discuss practical scheduling and session length when you sign up so the format fits your goals and routine.
