David Perrotta

David Perrotta is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker practicing in Michigan with three years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, LGBT concerns, and people adjusting to life changes. He also focuses on caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, workplace problems, and issues common for young adults.

He frames clients as the experts in their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are conversational and practical. He helps people talk through what feels stuck, sort priorities, and try small changes that can make daily life easier.

David uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. He listens for patterns in thinking, behavior, and relationships, then works with clients to test different ways of responding. The work often includes developing coping skills for anxiety, planning steps to manage grief, and breaking down big life questions into manageable choices.

People come to him when routine strategies stop working after a major change. He supports those exploring sexuality and LGBT issues without assuming one path fits everyone. He also helps caregivers balance competing demands and people facing chronic health challenges find ways to cope day to day.

Sessions aim to be steady and goal-minded. Early meetings focus on what matters now and what practical steps the client wants to try. Over time the focus can shift between immediate coping and longer questions about purpose and direction.

How his therapeutic methods work online

David uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions in a straightforward way. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing new responses; this helps with anxiety, panic, and workplace stress by giving concrete skills to use in daily life.

Another approach emphasizes skill-building for emotion regulation and coping with loss. This involves short practices and plans clients can try between sessions to manage intense feelings from grief, chronic illness, or caregiving stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with the client to choose techniques that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting methods as needed. The client and therapist decide together which strategies to focus on and how to measure progress.

Confirm session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove the need to travel to an office. Many people find that remote sessions help them keep therapy consistent alongside work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
