David Lechnyr, LCSW

About me

Welcome! My name is David, and I specialize in counseling and therapy for issues of depression, anxiety, and relationship issues.

I enjoy helping people connect with what they have lost in both life and in themselves. This process of personal recovery is amazing to witness and I am always impressed by the motivation of my patients towards change and honored to be involved, even if from the sidelines. My goal is to help you live a more focused and meaningful life by mastering these important Life Goals: Face life openly (what you avoid imprisons you); don't deceive yourself; accept yourself as you are; stop trying to prove yourself; and last but not least, don't let your past control your future. I believe that we we need to be present and honest with ourselves in order to effectively deal with our problems.

Since receiving my clinical degree in 1992, my approach to therapy has been influenced by Carl Rogers, Albert Ellis, John Gottman and Pema Chodron. Specifically, I use a blend of psychotherapy techniques including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (our thoughts and behaviors can directly affect our emotions), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (how we respond to a situation dictates its outcome), and Relationship Counseling (how we talk with our partner is more important than what we talk about).

I look forward to working with you!
