David Hicks

David Hicks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky with 10 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, family concerns, and coping with life changes. Sessions emphasize practical strategies and clear steps rather than abstract theory. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and help people name what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot thought patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood and to try small behavior changes. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and test what works next. David often works with people facing workplace pressure, social anxiety, and the doubts that come after a major life change. He supports those dealing with adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric concerns, codependency, substance issues, and feelings of emptiness or guilt. Communication problems, control issues, and commitment questions are also common topics he addresses. In a session he talks through immediate problems and tests simple coping tools. He helps people try new approaches between meetings and checks what helped. Sessions aim to reduce unhelpful patterns and increase clearer day-to-day choices. People who want straightforward, skills-based work may find his approach useful. Readers should confirm current session options before booking to be sure they match practical needs.

How David uses practical approaches in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy is about being listened to and having the therapist follow the person's concerns. It helps when someone needs space to sort feelings and to clarify what matters right now.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and repetitive worry that gets in the way of daily life.

Solution-Focused Therapy narrows the work to short-term goals and concrete next steps. It suits people who want to try specific changes and quickly see what shifts in their routine or thinking.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will help decide what fits best based on the person's goals and preferences and will adapt methods as progress is tracked together.

Confirm current session formats before scheduling because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about how sessions can be arranged to match practical needs and daily routines.
