About David
David Rossetti is a New York LCSW-R with 28 years of practice. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and issues tied to identity. He also supports people dealing with LGBT concerns and family of origin issues.
He focuses on clear, practical conversations about what keeps someone stuck. Sessions often look at patterns learned in childhood and how those patterns show up now. He talks through communication problems, codependency, and attachment issues in straightforward terms.
He brings broad experience helping people with adoption and foster care questions, abandonment, fertility and end-of-life matters. He also has experience related to sexual health, HIV/AIDS, first responder impacts, and gender dysphoria. That background informs how he notices recurring themes and practical next steps.
In session he emphasizes respectful, collaborative work. He helps people name unhelpful roles from their family and try different ways of relating. That can include practicing conversations, setting boundaries, or working through grief and shame.
His practice aims to help people reduce distress and improve daily functioning. People who want a direct, experienced clinician to address family patterns, relational strain, or identity questions may find his style a fit.
How therapeutic methods and online sessions work together
David uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address patterns that come from early family life. One common approach is focused work on attachment patterns, which looks at how early relationships shape trust and closeness and helps people try new ways of relating. Another typical emphasis is on symptom-focused strategies for anxiety and depression that teach practical skills to manage stress and intrusive thoughts.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting as progress is reviewed.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. For example, video can support face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is preferable. Licensed professionals can discuss which format best matches practical needs during the first scheduling steps.
