More about David
- 30 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana with 20 years of experience. I have worked with people of all ages challenged by depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, and PTSD. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as I believe it is the safest and effective model for Tele-Therapy. I also have training and experience working with people from other countries and cultures.
When working with clients it is important to make the therapy experience genuine, positive, respectful, and safe. I believe that you have many strengths that will assist you in your therapy. You have taken the first step, now make the second step and contact me.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
