About David
David Fox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois and Indiana with three years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, grief, and other life changes. He also addresses issues related to LGBT concerns, self-esteem, career strain, and compassion fatigue.
David focuses on helping people make sense of events that have changed them. He listens for the details a person chooses to share and uses those details to shape practical next steps. Sessions are organized around what the client wants to work on, rather than a fixed agenda.
His approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That looks like setting clear goals, testing small changes between sessions, and noticing what works in daily life. He aims to help people reduce reactive patterns, manage anger as it appears, and rebuild routines that feel workable.
David has worked with people who have experienced trauma and with those needing shorter-term support to process a specific event. He emphasizes active collaboration on treatment plans, so clients help choose goals and strategies. Progress is tracked in concrete ways, such as behavior changes and improved coping skills.
People who prefer straightforward, goal-oriented sessions may find his style helpful. He offers sessions in English and practices in Illinois.
How his therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
David uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change specific behaviors. CBT sessions often include identifying patterns, trying a different response between meetings, and reviewing what changed. This approach can help with anger tied to workplace stress, relationship conflict, or daily frustration.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which centers on small, practical steps toward a clear goal. These sessions focus on what is already working and how to build on it. That method is useful when someone wants fast, concrete ways to reduce reactivity and feel more in control day to day.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is practical and revisited as progress is made.
