About David
David Fox is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Illinois. He focuses on helping people who are carrying the weight of stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, and relationship struggles. He also works with clients facing adoption and foster care concerns and other life changes.
David listens closely to each person's story and emphasizes being heard. He aims to understand how life events have shaped a person's feelings and behavior. Together, he and the client build a plan that fits the person's goals and strengths.
His style tends toward practical, goal-oriented work. He uses methods that help people identify unhelpful patterns and try small changes that can make a difference. Sessions may include making concrete plans, testing different coping steps, and checking what helps between meetings.
David has three years of clinical experience and holds the LCSW credential. He has worked with people affected by trauma and seeks to create space for clients to process and reset after difficult events.
He describes therapy as a collaborative process. The client plays the lead role in shaping the work while he offers guidance, questions, and structure. The aim is helping clients move toward feeling more engaged in their daily life and more hopeful about the future.
How cognitive and solution-focused work can fit online
David uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and try small, practical changes to see what helps. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes setting clear goals and identifying existing strengths and exceptions to the problem. This approach is useful when people want targeted changes and actionable steps to try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a single technique. That process can include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on how well it fits.
