About David

David Siler is an LCSW with 25 years of clinical experience based in Indiana. He sees adults wrestling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, and issues around self-esteem. He also engages with concerns such as codependency, attachment and abandonment, and the fallout from infidelity or separation.

He works in plain, practical ways. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can change next. He listens for patterns in how people relate and offers steps to practice between appointments. Faith perspectives may be part of conversations when clients want that included.

Over his career he has helped people improve communication, set clearer boundaries, and cope with life transitions. He pays attention to family of origin issues and the role they play in adult relationships. Many people come for help with feeling empty, guilty, or stuck after divorce, loss, or other big changes.

In couples work he addresses practical problems such as commitment worries, poor communication, and rebuilding trust after infidelity. In individual work he focuses on reducing anxiety, lifting mood, and strengthening self-respect. He uses approaches drawn from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and homework.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Clients can expect direct feedback, tools to try between visits, and regular review of progress. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How sessions work

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Many of the techniques he uses come from proven, evidence-based methods that focus on thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Cognitive-style approaches help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to test different beliefs. These methods are useful for anxiety, low mood, and self-critical thinking.

Relational and attachment-focused work looks at how early family patterns affect adult relationships. That work helps people notice repeating patterns, practice new ways of communicating, and build clearer boundaries in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client’s situation, and adjust plans based on what works. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to prioritize as sessions progress.

Confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into work or family schedules, help with shorter check-ins, or reduce the need to travel. Talk with him about practical preferences so sessions can be scheduled in a way that fits day-to-day life.
