About David

LCSW in Indiana with 30 years of experience, David Swineheart focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and related concerns. He works with people facing depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and a range of behavioral and emotional challenges. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.

David draws on several well-known therapeutic approaches. He uses client-centered methods to listen and respond to each person's priorities. He applies cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress. He also uses emotionally focused and solution-oriented ideas when they fit a person's goals.

In sessions he keeps language straightforward and practical. He helps people name what is happening, try small changes, and notice what shifts. He sees work on sleep, eating, parenting concerns, and career stress as part of everyday coping rather than separate problems.

David has additional focus on issues such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, dissociation, shame and guilt, and problems related to military service. He also supports people managing bipolar symptoms, panic attacks, self-harm histories, and recovery from sexual assault or other abuse.

He describes therapy as a collaborative process. People can expect to set clear goals, use cognitive and emotional work to address them, and check progress along the way. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How his approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s concerns and priorities. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what matters to the client, and helps the client direct the pace and goals. This approach suits people who want a responsive, goal-driven conversation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions break issues into practical steps, test small changes, and teach skills for managing anxiety, panic, or low mood. CBT is often used for stress, panic attacks, and sleep or eating problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will review your concerns and try methods that fit your goals and preferences. That process is collaborative and may include a mix of client-centered, cognitive, emotional, or solution-focused techniques.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or sessions that avoid travel time. It can also allow someone to focus on skills practice between meetings. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the introductory questionnaire to find what fits your routine.
