About David
David Ordan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who focuses on relationship and parenting concerns alongside career and personal growth. He draws on five years of clinical work to help people who feel stuck in their relationships or careers. David aims to find practical next steps rather than long, theoretical talks.
He begins by listening to what matters most and mapping how current struggles connect to past relationships and life events.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize identifying strengths that already exist and using them in everyday situations. This helps people move from feeling overwhelmed to taking small, useful actions. David uses clear, goal-focused methods to address parenting stress, communication breakdowns, blended family challenges, and fatherhood concerns.
He also supports those coping with grief, life changes, and career transitions. Conversations typically focus on concrete skills and simple experiments clients can try between sessions. In couples work he pays attention to how partners communicate, repair, and reconnect.
For individuals he blends coaching-style questions with reflective listening to help clarify values and next steps. He welcomes people of all faiths, gender identities, and sexual orientations. Sessions are offered through several online formats, which allows people to choose what fits their schedule and needs.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How certain approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and commit to actions that reflect those values. Online ACT sessions often include simple, practical exercises and short behavioral experiments to try between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on being heard and understood; the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead so people can find their own solutions. This approach supports work on self-esteem, life direction, and relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. David will review goals and preferences with the client and suggest which methods to try first. They can adjust the plan over time based on what feels most helpful and what produces workable changes in daily life.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues for couples work and communication practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for frequent touchpoints, quick coaching prompts, or brief progress notes between longer sessions. These options give flexibility and help clients keep momentum toward their goals.
