About Arthur
Arthur Adams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with 38 years of experience. He has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, adoption, foster care, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Arthur also has considerable experience addressing substance dependency and behavioral addictions such as pornography, food disorders, and gambling.
He treats each person as an individual rather than a diagnosis. He favors strengths-based, person-centered, and solution-focused ways of working. Sessions are straightforward and goal oriented. He helps people identify practical steps they can try between meetings.
His background includes a long record of work with addictions and with family-related challenges. That has included helping people facing betrayal, addictive family patterns, and the stresses that come with blended households or separation. He also supports people dealing with grief, anger, and changes in mood.
Arthur’s manner is respectful and non-judgmental. He listens for what matters most to the person in front of him and then helps turn that into clear, doable goals. He will talk through coping ideas, behavior changes, and ways to rebuild routine when life feels off balance.
People who come for help with parenting strain, relationship tension, or compulsive behaviors can expect a practical focus. Early sessions typically clarify priorities and outline small steps to try. Progress is reviewed and adjusted as needed.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can fit
Arthur draws on person-centered work that focuses on the individual's strengths and priorities. This approach means sessions begin by listening to what matters most and then shaping goals that reflect those priorities. It is useful for people who want to work on self-esteem, relationship matters, or parenting strain.He also uses solution-focused techniques that look for small, concrete changes a person can try right away. Those techniques break larger problems into manageable steps and are often used for stress, anxiety, and behavior changes linked to addictions or routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Arthur will work with each person to decide which mix of listening, strengths work, and solution-focused steps fits their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as needs change.
