About David
David Simpson is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with five years of clinical experience based in Ohio. He works with people who face stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. David also focuses on social anxiety and phobia and related concerns such as communication problems and codependency.
David uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods in sessions. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try new responses, and make steady changes. Sessions tend to focus on skills people can use between meetings and on clear, manageable steps forward.
When someone brings concerns about addiction, relationship strain, or fatherhood issues, David works to understand the concrete problems and the goals the person has for their life. He pays attention to how avoidance, shame, or guilt keep problems going and looks for small changes that reduce distress.
People can expect a practical, collaborative approach that emphasizes real-world tools. David supports work on grief, hospice and end-of-life questions, and process or sex-related addictions with the same focus on clear goals and coping strategies.
Sessions are conducted in English and he practices in Ohio. His LISW credential is shown as LISW. To begin, visitors use the site process to choose online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
David commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety. CBT is practical and often used for social anxiety, phobias, and mood concerns.He also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. ACT can help when avoidance or worry limits daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then they will try methods together to see what fits best. That collaborative process helps shape what happens in sessions over time.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to continue work during life transitions while keeping focus on clear steps and practical tools.
