About David
David Hicks is a Kentucky-licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, with 10 years of clinical experience. He focuses on depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, stress, and coping with life changes. He also lists work around family issues, forgiveness, and guilt and shame.
He often meets people who are carrying difficult feelings from relationships, faith, or past choices. Sessions look at how those feelings show up in daily life. He helps people build practical coping strategies and clearer communication skills.
His approach centers on listening closely to each person’s experience. He uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems active.
Solution-Focused Therapy is part of his toolkit when people want short-term, goal-oriented work. That can mean setting a few concrete goals and tracking small changes over several sessions. He discusses concrete steps people can try between meetings.
David describes his practice as faith-informed and respectful of personal values. He has worked with young adults and people dealing with workplace stress and social anxiety. If someone is carrying guilt or shame, he talks through how those feelings affect relationships and daily functioning, and then helps find practical ways to manage them.
How his approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to each person and following what matters most to them. In online sessions this means the therapist pays attention to the client’s priorities and adapts conversation and pacing to those needs.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses clear steps to change unhelpful patterns. Online work can include tracking thoughts, trying small behavior changes between sessions, and reviewing results together.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical goals and rapid, measurable steps. It is useful when someone wants focused work on a few concrete problems, such as improving communication or managing a single stressor.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which approaches fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, because the biography does not list specific formats. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy can be scheduled around work or family commitments.
