David Simpson, LISW

David Simpson is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) licensed in Ohio with five years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. He also addresses concerns such as substance and process addictions, communication problems, and fatherhood issues. Sessions are conducted in English.

David uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and handle difficult situations. He works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing to build coping skills and clarify values. In sessions he helps people identify unhelpful patterns, try concrete strategies, and track what works.

He often assists people dealing with trauma, grief at end-of-life or hospice contexts, and the aftermath of relationship problems like codependency and dependent or avoidant personality patterns. He also supports those facing sex addiction or process addictions such as gambling or compulsive exercise. Conversations focus on current problems and immediate steps a person can take.

When substance use or addiction is present, he addresses motivation and behavior change in practical terms. For men navigating fatherhood issues he centers discussions on roles, communication, and problem solving. He also helps people wrestle with guilt, shame, forgiveness, and rebuilding routine after major changes.

People can expect a collaborative, straightforward approach. David aims to set clear goals and adjust techniques as needed. To begin, follow the practice’s onboarding steps and book a first session to discuss specific needs and next steps.
