David Swineheart

David Swineheart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana with three decades of clinical experience. He focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and trauma. David aims to make therapy straightforward and respectful so people can get on with their lives.

He favors clear, goal-focused conversations that help people understand what keeps problems going. Sessions often look at thoughts and behaviors to find small changes that make daily life easier. He also draws on emotion-focused work when relationships or closeness are a central concern.

David has long experience with trauma, panic, and grief, and he supports people navigating parenting strain, career stress, and attention differences. He also works with issues like self-esteem, codependency, control problems, and forgiveness. His background includes work with people from other countries and cultural backgrounds.

In sessions he treats the person as the expert on their life and helps them use their strengths. He combines practical strategies with attention to feelings so people can manage symptoms and rebuild connection. The focus is on useful steps rather than long explanations.

People who want clear tools and direct support for anger, panic, or trauma often find his approach helpful. To begin, visitors are encouraged to use the site Start Therapy flow to answer a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How David’s approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people build on their strengths to handle anger, grief, or relationship strain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, panic, and mood problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people notice and name strong feelings and use that awareness to improve close relationships and reduce repeated conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift over time as progress is made and circumstances change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing meetings from wherever a person is located. If you plan to work online, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can support steady skill practice, short check-ins, and regular goal-focused sessions that slot into a workday or family routine.
