Can you correct a run-on sentence by using a comma and conjunctive adverb between the two independent clauses?

Sometimes! It depends on the sentence and how you want to make sense of it.
So for example, if your sentence is:
"David wanted to go to the shop he also wanted to go to the barber and the bank."
You could split this two ways:
1. "David wanted to go to the shop, and he also wanted to go to the barber and the bank."
2. "David wanted to go to the shop. He also wanted to go to the barber and the bank."
