About David
David Swineheart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with 30 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and related concerns such as sleep, eating, and parenting difficulties.
He describes therapy as a straightforward collaboration. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and building on strengths a person already has. He uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered work to help people manage symptoms and day-to-day challenges.
David has long experience with trauma, including sexual and physical abuse, and with panic attacks. He also notes work with people dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, and patterns like codependency or dependent personality features. That background informs both short-term and longer-term work.
In sessions he favors clear, respectful communication. He helps people identify patterns that leave them putting others first or feeling overwhelmed. He also supports coping with career strain, compassion fatigue, and transitions such as grief or major life changes.
People can expect a practical, problem-focused style that looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. David has worked with clients from other countries and cultures and offers services in English. To begin, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches fit into online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can notice their own choices and strengths; it is helpful when someone wants to feel understood and make steady changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific techniques to reduce anxiety, panic, or depressive patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name feelings and patterns in close relationships so they can respond differently when emotions run high.Finding the right approach is part of the work. David will review goals and preferences with each person and suggest which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and can shift as needs change over time.
This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time on workdays. Many people find remote sessions let them meet with a licensed professional from different locations or time zones while keeping therapy practical for everyday life.
