About David
David Swineheart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with three decades of experience helping people manage hard moments. He is based in Indiana and works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life changes. David speaks English and has experience with clients from other countries and cultures.
In sessions he aims for a straightforward, respectful tone. He focuses on what people are struggling with now and on practical steps that can bring relief.
Background and approach
He uses familiar, evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused work to address feelings, thoughts, and relationship patterns. David also uses client-centered and solution-focused methods to keep sessions focused and useful. That can mean setting short-term goals, trying specific skills between sessions, or digging into emotions that keep coming up.
He adapts the pace to each person's needs and comfort level. People consult him about relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, sleep and eating troubles, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and challenges tied to military or veteran life. He also supports people coping with abandonment, attachment wounds, shame, and complicated grief.
The practice offers live video, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can fit support into their schedules. To begin, a simple matching questionnaire connects someone to scheduling steps that match their needs and availability.

Online support
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the person in front of him. It helps people feel heard and shape goals that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep or eating issues.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. David will work with each person to pick or combine methods based on their concerns, goals, and comfort level. That might mean starting with skill-building exercises, then spending time on emotional work as trust grows.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls recreate a face-to-face session for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people share thoughts between meetings. These options give flexibility so therapy can match real-world schedules and needs.
