About David
David Ordan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin with five years of clinical experience. He focuses on relationship and parenting concerns, along with career transition and issues that affect men's roles and identity. His work centers on helping people regain direction when work or relationships feel stuck.
He begins by listening to each person's story and identifying practical strengths to build on. Sessions look at key relationships and how they shaped current patterns.
Background and approach
From there he and the client set clear, achievable steps to move forward. David trained with a Master of Science in Clinical Counseling from Mount Mary University in Milwaukee. He draws from approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered work to keep the process grounded and personal.
He also uses relationship methods such as the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy when couples work is needed. His style is straightforward and goal-focused. He uses brief solution-oriented techniques alongside deeper exploration when needed.
Clients can expect a mix of practical coaching and conversational therapy aimed at daily improvements. Sessions are offered in English and are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. David holds Wisconsin and New Jersey LPC credentials and aims to help people who want clearer direction in career, relationships, or personal purpose.
How David applies clear approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters most and take actions that match their values. It is useful for coping with life changes, dealing with guilt or shame, and finding direction in career or relationships.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist mirrors and clarifies what the client shares. This approach helps people build self-esteem and feel heard while they figure out next steps.
The Gottman Method brings practical tools for managing conflict and improving communication in couples work. It teaches specific skills for handling tension and rebuilding connection over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. David collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and comfort level. He adjusts techniques based on what is actually helping and what feels useful in everyday life.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. This range of options lets people fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, and use the format that best supports honest conversation.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Gottman Method
A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
