About David
David Lanzillotti is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, career questions, and life transitions. He draws on 23 years of counseling experience to offer steady support during difficult times. He aims to make sessions relaxed and direct.
David encourages honest talk about feelings and behavior. He focuses on practical steps people can take between sessions to feel better day to day.
Background and approach
In sessions he works as a partner with the person who comes for help. Together they identify the problems, set clear goals, and try small experiments to improve how life is going. Progress is measured in real changes, like calmer mood, fewer conflicts, or clearer decisions at work.
David has also worked with issues related to abandonment, attachment, control and codependency. He supports people coping with caregiver stress, aging concerns, body image, cancer, and blended family challenges. His approach is adaptable to the specific problem someone brings.
He offers appointments by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a time that works with his availability. People who want straightforward guidance and practical tools often choose to begin this kind of collaborative work with him.
Practical approaches for online support
David uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear goals and behavior change. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches stress and emotion regulation tools to reduce anxiety and anger. These techniques show people how to notice triggers, try new responses, and practice small, repeatable habits that change daily life.Another emphasis is problem-focused counseling that breaks larger issues into manageable steps. For relationship or career concerns he helps clients clarify what they want, try communication or decision-making experiments, and review what worked. This method fits grief, adjustment, and other life changes where stepwise progress helps restore routine and meaning.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that match the client's goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to keep using and which to change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skills practice. Phone sessions work well when a quieter setup or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging offer brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
