David Fox, LCSW - Therapist in Illinois

About David

David Fox is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and other life challenges. He speaks plainly and listens for what matters most to each person. Sessions are aimed at making practical changes that fit daily life.

Parents looking for support around parenting and family concerns will find straightforward, goal-oriented help. He uses short-term methods when that makes sense. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is one tool he draws on to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.

Background and approach

Solution-Focused Therapy is another approach he uses to set clear goals and build small, useful changes quickly. David has three years of professional experience and holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW. He is licensed in Illinois and Indiana and works with adults facing trauma, relationship issues, self-esteem struggles, and the stresses of caregiving and chronic illness.

He also supports concerns such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues, gender dysphoria, and HIV/AIDS. In sessions he focuses on understanding each person’s story. Treatment plans are created together and adjusted as needs change.

The aim is to help someone feel more capable of handling today and planning for a more stable tomorrow. He offers sessions in English and provides care in Illinois. Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice patterns in their thoughts and test different ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and coping with life changes. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical steps and clear goals so progress can be felt quickly and measured over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, making therapy a collaborative effort.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. These formats make it easier to connect from home, on a break, or between other responsibilities while still using CBT and solution-focused techniques in structured, goal-oriented conversations.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
