About David
David Swineheart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Indiana with 30 years of experience. He works with people who face stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and parenting challenges. Sessions are practical and focused on real-life problems.
He uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In conversation he looks at patterns that keep problems going. He helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that make anxiety, anger, or low mood worse and tries straightforward ways to change them.
David describes the work as respectful and direct. He likes to reinforce a person’s existing strengths. That can mean setting small goals, trying new communication steps, or practicing skills between meetings. Progress is measured in everyday changes rather than abstract ideas.
He has experience working with people from other countries and cultures and with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, self-harm, and sexual assault and abuse. Other focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and forgiveness.
Practical matters such as sleep, eating, parenting, work stress, and career questions are commonly part of sessions. The approach aims to address both symptoms and the situations that feed them. If someone wants to begin, they follow the site steps to match and schedule a first meeting.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people clarify their own goals. This approach supports concerns like low self-esteem, relationship strain, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and behavior changes to reduce anxiety, panic attacks, and depressive patterns. CBT is often used to set concrete tasks between sessions, such as mood tracking or trying new coping steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a person’s goals and daily life. That collaborative process often means mixing techniques across approaches to address symptoms and routines.
