About David
Dr. David Posipanka is a Pennsylvania Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of clinical experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting concerns, depression, and major life changes. He works directly with people carrying guilt and shame linked to relationships, choices, or past events. Sessions focus on practical conversation and clear steps rather than jargon.
He uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice thought patterns that keep guilt and shame active and to test new, realistic ways of thinking. Mindfulness techniques help people slow down intense feelings so they can be handled one step at a time.
With years of experience treating addictions and impulsivity, he brings a steady, straightforward style to conversations about risky behavior and recovery. Motivational Interviewing is part of his work when someone needs help finding their own reasons to change. Existential ideas are sometimes part of sessions when people confront meaning, responsibility, or regrets.
He helps people talk through parenting and fatherhood issues without judgment and addresses related problems like codependency, attachment concerns, and forgiveness. Chronic illness, aging, and pain are also included in his practice when those stresses increase shame or limit daily life.
Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions can use this approach to focus on the client's priorities, helping them name what feels most burdensome and what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is practical and action-oriented. It helps identify thinking patterns that keep guilt and shame active and then tests small experiments to shift those patterns. Mindfulness Therapy offers short exercises to notice intense feelings and manage them in the moment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods that fit the person. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can help fit therapy into everyday life by removing travel, making it easier to schedule around work or family, or allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for rhythm and practicality.
