About David

David Lanzillotti is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 23 years of counseling experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, coping with grief or life changes, or navigating relationship and career challenges. He also supports those managing anger and parenting concerns.

He aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared honestly. Sessions focus on understanding what brings someone in and then working together to set clear, practical goals. He encourages clients to bring an open mind and a sincere desire to change.

David describes therapy as a collaborative process. Once trust is established, he and the client identify problem areas and break them down into manageable steps. The emphasis is on practical strategies people can use between sessions to improve daily life.

Over more than two decades he has worked with a wide range of concerns including abandonment worries, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and coping after illness or disaster. This variety informs a flexible, experience-based approach to problem solving.

Clients can expect straightforward communication and a focus on measurable progress. He asks for honest sharing so sessions can be productive and tailored to each person's needs. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to his availability.

How evidence-based approaches work online

David uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear problems and practical steps. One common approach helps people learn skills to manage stress and anxiety by breaking worries into smaller parts and practicing new ways to respond. Another method focuses on relationship and attachment concerns by examining patterns of communication and teaching tools to improve connection and boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which techniques to try first. This collaborative planning makes it easier to adjust methods if something isn't helping.

If you are considering online sessions, check the session formats available before booking to confirm what is offered. Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also allow sessions without video when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers an audio-only meeting. Confirm specific formats and scheduling options during the initial matching and scheduling steps.
