About David
Dr. David Goodman is a Wisconsin psychologist (WI Psychologist 2581-57) with 29 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, and ADHD. He also helps with parenting concerns, anger, intimacy-related problems, and career or life changes.
His style is straightforward and problem-focused. He uses multiple approaches - including cognitive behavioral methods and acceptance-based strategies - to help people name what is happening and try practical changes. Sessions typically include talking through current concerns, learning specific skills, and checking progress over time.
Goodman draws on long experience with a wide range of issues. He also addresses less common concerns such as attachment problems, body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and communication problems. People pursue work with him for mood disorders, trauma and abuse, and relationship struggles as well as for managing everyday pressure and transitions.
He makes use of assessment tools to track symptoms and measure change. That can help set clear goals and see progress in a concrete way. He has provided telehealth since 2020 and offers work that adapts to each person’s situation.

Therapeutic approaches and online work
Dr. Goodman uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) among other methods. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. ACT encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then committing to actions that reflect personal values, which can help with stress, addictions, and persistent mood problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to figure out which methods fit best for their goals, symptoms, and preferences. That discussion can shift over time as needs change and progress is tracked.
The original biography describes his use of telehealth since 2020. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to be on camera if that helps. Licensed professionals can still use assessment tools and progress measures during remote sessions to set goals and monitor change.
