About David
David Swineheart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana with 30 years of experience. He works with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions. David aims to make sessions straightforward and respectful so people can focus on what matters to them.
He combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centered care to help people understand their emotions and how those feelings show up in relationships. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments that can change day-to-day habits.
Background and approach
His practice addresses a wide range of concerns, from intimacy-related issues, attachment and abandonment worries, and codependency, to stress, panic attacks, and burnout. He also supports people coping with parenting challenges, career changes, and compassion fatigue. David works with people affected by sexual assault, self-harm history, or military and veteran-related issues.
Sessions tend to be practical and focused. David listens first, then helps set clear goals and steps to reach them. He values collaboration and respects each person’s pace.
People who prefer a calm, direct approach may find his style helpful. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines and comfort levels. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support
How emotion-focused work and practical skills translate online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name important emotions and patterns in close relationships; it’s useful when intimacy, attachment, or abandonment concerns are central. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect, giving people space to talk at their own pace while the therapist follows their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors, helping people test beliefs and try small, manageable changes in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaboration guides whether sessions lean more toward emotion-focused exploration, skills-based CBT exercises, or a mix of both.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into real life. Video lets people read facial cues and have a face-to-face conversation. Phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text are helpful for shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to maintain regular sessions despite busy schedules or distance.
