About David
David Siler is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. He listens for what matters most and helps clients build clearer communication and stronger self-esteem. His approach is straightforward and faith-informed when that matters to the person in therapy.
He often helps people cope with family-of-origin issues, abandonment, attachment concerns, and the fallout from divorce or infidelity.
Background and approach
He also supports those dealing with adoption and foster care questions, fatherhood issues, and the intense shame and guilt that can follow major life changes. He works to identify patterns that keep problems repeating and to find practical ways to change them. Sessions focus on real-life steps that fit a person’s values and daily life.
Conversations may include communication skills, setting healthier boundaries, and rebuilding trust after betrayal. He aims to combine emotional support with clear, usable strategies so clients can try new ways of relating between sessions. David draws on a long clinical background and adapts methods to each person rather than using a single formula.
He is based in Indiana and works with people in English. He describes himself as collaborative and faith-aware when that perspective is important to the client. People who prefer a therapist who balances practical guidance with compassionate listening may find his style helpful.
He encourages open conversation about goals and values early in therapy so sessions stay focused on what the client most wants to change.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
David often uses evidence-based techniques that focus on relationships and emotions. One common approach helps people notice and change interaction patterns that cause repeated conflict or distance; it teaches clearer communication and better boundary-setting to improve day-to-day interactions. Another approach addresses feelings like shame, guilt, and emptiness by helping people identify underlying beliefs and try new behaviors that feel more life-giving and hopeful.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their concerns, goals, and what feels comfortable, then adapt methods over time. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay useful and aligned with their values and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text allow shorter check-ins and flexible communication between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
