About David
David Perrotta is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with three years of professional experience. He works with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, grief and depression. He also helps people coping with life changes and adjustment to new circumstances.
David approaches sessions assuming people know their own stories. He looks for strengths clients already have and helps them use those strengths to address current problems. Conversations focus on practical steps and options rather than abstract labels.
In sessions he listens for what’s most urgent - sleep, panic, work strain, or relationship friction - and then helps set small, realistic goals. He talks through coping strategies and communication skills that can fit into a busy week. He frames tasks so progress can be noticed between meetings.
David also works with people facing ongoing physical illness or caregiver stress. He addresses how health limits or caregiving duties change daily routines and priorities. He helps people name realistic adjustments and plan manageable next steps.
Clients can expect a straightforward, collaborative process. The therapist and client choose which issues to prioritize and which steps to try first. The focus is on clearer thinking, practical tools, and steady progress over time.

How evidence-based techniques guide online work
David describes his practice as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common problems. One approach focuses on practical coping skills for anxiety and panic, teaching breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure to reduce overwhelming reactions. This helps people who have panic attacks or work-related stress manage symptoms day to day.Another approach emphasizes problem-solving and behavioral activation for depression and adjustment to life changes. Sessions identify small actions that fit a person’s routine and build toward clearer structure and more rewarding activities. This approach is useful for grief, low mood, and finding direction after a major life shift.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which techniques to try first, track what helps, and adjust the plan based on progress and preferences.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals commonly use these practical benefits to make regular sessions more manageable while focusing on meaningful steps forward.
