About Arthur

Arthur Adams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 38 years of experience in clinical practice. He has worked with people who face depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, and obsessive compulsive issues. He also brings long experience in addictions work, including substance dependency, pornography addiction, food disorders, gambling, and addictive family systems.

He describes clients first as people, not as diagnoses. His work uses strengths-based, person-centered, and solution-focused ideas. Sessions aim to identify what a person wants to change and practical steps toward those goals.

His style is direct and respectful. He listens without judgment and helps clients clarify priorities. Conversations tend to be practical, with questions that uncover what is getting in the way and what resources the client already has.

When anger or resentment are part of the problem, he looks at how those feelings show up in relationships and everyday life. He helps people notice triggers, plan different responses, and practice new behavior in small steps. The focus is on reducing conflict and improving connections rather than labels.

With addictions he combines attention to behavior patterns with discussions about relationships and values. He helps people outline clear short-term goals and next steps. Arthur also supports people working through grief, midlife transitions, codependency, and forgiveness issues.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations about priorities, concrete strategies to try between sessions, and regular check-ins on progress. He works in English and accepts international clients.

How sessions work

Practical approaches for online work and managing anger

Arthur practices with approaches described as evidence-based techniques. Person-centered methods focus on understanding the client’s priorities and building on strengths. That means sessions often begin by clarifying what the client wants to change and identifying existing resources to support those changes.

He also uses solution-focused techniques that target small, achievable steps. Those techniques are about setting short-term goals, testing new behaviors, and reviewing results. For anger and addictions this can look like planning specific responses to triggers and tracking how those responses change interactions over time.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. He will work with the client to match strategies to goals and preferences, adjusting methods as needed. The therapist and client review what works and pivot when something isn’t helping.

Session formats are not listed in the original profile, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into workdays, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular meetings. Online work can also let clients practice skills between sessions in real life and bring those experiences back for review.
