About David
David Siler is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Indiana with 25 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and self-esteem struggles. He also helps people dealing with guilt and shame, family of origin problems, and challenges tied to adoption or fatherhood.
David uses a faith-informed perspective when clients want that included. He focuses on practical conversation and clearer communication rather than abstract theory. Sessions often address how people handle shame, forgive themselves, or rebuild trust after infidelity or separation.
He has long experience supporting couples who are trying to repair communication or decide next steps after separation or divorce. He also sees people wrestling with abandonment, attachment wounds, codependency, and commitment concerns. His work emphasizes straightforward skills for managing anxiety and stress in daily life.
In sessions David listens for the story that underlies shame and guilt. He helps people name patterns that keep them stuck and practice different ways of relating. He brings faith considerations into the conversation when requested, and he uses that to help clients sort values from habits.
Practical steps and clear goals guide his work. People can expect conversations that move from identifying problems to trying new interactions and tracking small changes. He encourages attention to communication, boundaries, and self-understanding as ways to reduce ongoing distress.
Approaches for online work and practical fit
David describes his work as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing patterns and improving communication. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches concrete ways to manage anxiety and stress, such as breathing, pacing, and short behavioral experiments to test new responses. This helps when intense worry or avoidance makes daily life harder.Another approach is relational work that looks at attachment and interaction patterns. This type of work helps people who feel shame or repeated abandonment by tracing relationship habits and trying new ways of connecting. It is useful for issues like codependency, commitment worries, and repair after infidelity.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. David will work with clients to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust techniques as sessions progress. That collaboration helps shape whether more skills practice or more relational exploration is used.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove commute time so people can use a lunch break or evening slot more easily. Licensed professionals can adapt session length and pacing to match each person's day-to-day life.
