David Miller , LISW

David Miller is a licensed social worker practicing in Ohio with six years of clinical experience. He holds an LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker - and also serves as an Air Force military officer, a background that has included work with both active duty members and veterans and that informs his perspective on the challenges many people face.

His clinical focus spans trauma and addictions, stress and anxiety management, coping with grief and loss, domestic and child abuse, couples therapy, and mood and personality disorders. He also addresses related concerns such as codependency, family and blended family issues, fatherhood challenges, and substance use problems.

He is certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and is proficient in additional evidence-informed modalities, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). During military service he developed specialized skills in Family Advocacy, focusing on domestic and child abuse, while supporting couples through relationship difficulties.

His practice is guided by the belief that each person is the expert on their own life and already possesses strengths to draw on. He approaches therapy as a collaborative process - acknowledging the courage it takes to begin and offering steady support for growth, healing, and practical coping.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them and focus on actions that align with personal values. It is often useful for managing anxiety, stress, depression, and patterns that contribute to substance use.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. This approach can support work on attachment issues, family and couples concerns, codependency, and fatherhood challenges by strengthening relational awareness and repair.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and building practical skills to change them. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, and relapse prevention in addictions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and receive support from a distance while working with therapists who use evidence-informed approaches.
