David Fox, LCSW

David Fox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in Illinois and Indiana and brings a focus on helping people who have experienced trauma make sense of their life story. As an LCSW - a licensed clinician trained in assessment and therapeutic treatment - he works with adults to process difficult events and to identify the practical steps needed to regain balance.

He views therapy as more than listening; he prioritizes truly hearing what each person chooses to share so he can grasp their specific concerns and collaborate on a clear path forward. David often supports clients with short-term interventions when life events require focused processing and reset, while also offering guidance for longer-term work when needed.

Treatment plans are developed collaboratively, shaped by the client so that the aspects of life affected by stress, trauma, relationships, or other challenges can be addressed and strengthened. David aims to empower people to feel more hopeful about today and confident about their future, working with them to build practical skills and renewed perspective.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, addictions, and other challenges. It emphasizes practical tools and skill building so clients can test new ways of thinking and behaving in everyday life.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on goals and strengths, helping clients clarify what they want to achieve and identify small, concrete steps to get there. This brief, forward-looking approach can be useful for relationship concerns, parenting challenges, career decisions, and managing life transitions.

Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic process. David works collaboratively with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent care without rearranging major parts of daily life. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver focused, effective work while accommodating different schedules, comfort levels, and communication styles.
