About Dave Lechnyr, LCSW
Hi, I’m Dave. I work with people who truly want to get unstuck and make some actual impact in their life goal of being a better version of themselves. My approach to therapy has been influenced greatly by Carl Rogers, Aaron Beck and Pema Chödrön. I’m a big believer in the three keys for Emotional…
Real, permanent change doesn’t happen without help. But you don’t want a therapist who just sits there, nodding and asking during counseling, “How does that make you feel?” You want someone to not only listen, but challenge you to be better. To call you on your B.S., offer direction, and help you become the best version of yourself. That’s all that matters in the end. Otherwise, we’re just stuck feeling stuck.
As a result of the pandemic, all counseling sessions are provided exclusively by teletherapy (secure video) from my office in Eugene, Oregon. I work with both individuals and couples, ages 18 and older.
