About David
David Perrotta is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with three years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and issues related to LGBTQ+ identity. He also helps people coping with life changes and the strain of caregiving.
David approaches sessions with the view that clients are the experts on their own lives. He looks for strengths people already have and uses those as a starting point. Conversations focus on practical steps and understanding what matters now rather than on abstract labels.
In a typical meeting David listens to the immediate concern, names clear goals, and identifies small actions to try between sessions. He talks through strategies for managing panic, reducing everyday stress, and navigating workplace or relationship tensions. He will help people make short-term plans when they are adjusting after loss or big life transitions.
People also bring issues such as chronic illness or pain, difficulties with communication, questions about sexuality, and multicultural concerns. David brings three years of direct practice experience to these topics and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work.
Sessions are practical and conversational. David encourages clients to track what helps and what does not. He asks for feedback and adjusts the focus as needs change.
Evidence-based approaches and remote care
David uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with symptoms such as anxiety, panic, depression, and grief. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another practical approach emphasizes short-term problem solving and skill building to manage stress and everyday challenges, such as workplace conflict or caregiver strain.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different methods and checking in regularly about what is helping.
If you are considering remote sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often use remote sessions to keep momentum between in-person visits and to make regular meetings more practical for people juggling work, caregiving, or health issues.
