Licensed Clinical Social Worker | Psychotherapist

My Approach to Helping

Life can be challenging, and sometimes we all need someone in our corner. My name is David Floyd, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping people navigate life’s ups and downs, overcome obstacles, and become the best versions of themselves.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Communication from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Loyola University Chicago. Throughout my career, I’ve gained experience in mental health, crisis intervention, addiction treatment, and supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds.

I specialize in helping individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, relationship challenges, men’s issues, life transitions, and substance use concerns. I also enjoy working with young professionals, first responders, and individuals navigating stress and burnout.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, down-to-earth, and judgment-free. I incorporate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and solution-focused therapy, to help clients build healthier coping skills and create meaningful change.

I believe everyone has strengths they can build on. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating a major life transition, or simply looking to grow, my goal is to provide a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered.

I offer virtual therapy services throughout Illinois and look forward to helping you take the next step toward becoming your best self.
