David Fox, LCSW

David Fox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois and Indiana with three years of experience. He helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and work or career pressures. He also focuses on issues such as attachment, adoption and foster care, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and identity concerns including gender dysphoria and HIV/AIDS.

He listens for the story each person brings and works to understand what matters most to them. Sessions are practical and direct. David aims to help people make sense of difficult events and find steps that reduce day-to-day strain.

His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. He uses these methods to identify unhelpful patterns, try out different ways of responding, and set short-term goals that feel doable. That makes work on mood, impulsivity, communication, and coping with life changes very concrete.

When trauma is involved he focuses on helping people process what happened and rebuild a sense of control over daily life. He helps with relationship topics like communication problems, commitment questions, infidelity, and intimacy concerns in straightforward terms.

David’s practice also addresses practical caregiver issues, chronic pain or illness, and the stresses that come with adoption or foster care. His focus is on clear steps people can use between sessions to reduce overwhelm and regain momentum.
