About David
David Fox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois and Indiana with three years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma and many relationship and intimacy-related concerns. He also helps with parenting, career stress, caregiver strain, and problems tied to adoption and attachment.
He focuses on listening closely and clarifying what each person chooses to share. That listening is used to build clear, practical steps people can try between sessions. Sessions tend to center on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, testing small changes, and tracking what helps.
David uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide short- and mid-term work. With CBT he looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses structured exercises to shift patterns. With solution-focused work he helps people pick concrete, achievable next steps and notice progress quickly.
He aims to co-create a treatment plan with each person that reflects their goals. That plan might include simple experiments, communication strategies, and ways to manage strong emotions. Progress is measured by whether the plan reduces distress and improves day-to-day functioning.
People who choose his approach can expect clear feedback, practical tasks between sessions, and a focus on real-world changes. He works from Illinois and holds the LCSW credential listed as IN LCSW and IL LCSW.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
David uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in everyday situations. CBT sessions often include short exercises, worksheets, and specific practice tasks that clients can do between meetings. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying small, achievable steps and tracking what changes first, which can speed up noticing progress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend a way of working that fits those needs. The plan is collaborative so adjustments can be made if something isn’t helping.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. Because the exact session formats are not specified in the profile, confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to try short check-ins, use screen-shared worksheets, or schedule meetings at different times of day to suit a routine.
