About David

David Krych is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with 19 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship and family concerns, anger, depression, and life transitions. He also addresses intimacy-related issues, parenting stresses, and caregiver burnout.

He started his career working with adolescents in the juvenile justice system and later stepped away to work outdoors while confronting his own struggles with addiction. That lived experience led him into recovery and shaped a second phase of practice focused on substance use and the factors that contribute to it.

In practice he prioritizes getting to know each person's goals and history. Sessions focus on practical skills, personal strengths, and insights clients already have. He helps people name patterns, try different ways of responding, and build steady habits that reduce reactivity and build better relationships.

His work draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Existential Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Those approaches show up as active listening, problem-solving, examining beliefs that drive behavior, and working on emotional connection when relationships are strained.

He frames change as gradual and effortful, not instant. His experience includes recovery work and long-term counseling with people facing complex problems. People seeking help with anger, addiction, relationship friction, or the emotional strain of caregiving will find a practical, experience-based approach.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

David uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person's experience and goals, offering listening and reflection so clients can make sense of what matters to them. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to pinpoint thoughts and behaviors that feed anger or anxiety and to practice new ways of responding. Emotionally-Focused Therapy appears in his work when relationship patterns and emotional connection are the main concerns; that approach helps name feelings and improve connection in interactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with clients to test methods and see what helps most. That means trying practical CBT tools, spending time on feelings when needed, and adjusting the focus as goals change.

Confirm which session formats he currently offers before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy life, making it easier to attend short check-ins, regular weekly meetings, or sessions during a break at work. Online work also lets the therapist and client move between skill practice and real-time discussion without travel. Ask about the specific session options available when you schedule so they match your needs.
