About David

Dr. David Dohm is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with 30 years of clinical experience. He works with adults and children on problems like depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, OCD, and ADHD. He takes a straightforward, respectful approach and aims to create a nonjudgmental space for people to talk about what matters to them.

He uses several therapy approaches to match each person's needs, including cognitive-behavioral methods, client-centered listening, EMDR, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking patterns, and coping strategies that can help with sleep, anger, mood swings, and stressful life changes. He also addresses issues such as grief, parenting strain, relationship concerns, and men's issues.

David emphasizes collaboration. He listens first, then works with the person to set goals and try techniques that fit daily life. Expect conversations that balance active skills practice with time to reflect on feelings and history. The tone is direct but compassionate, without labels that shame.

Across his career he has worked in a variety of settings, bringing experience with addiction, domestic violence, blended-family strains, and the effects of trauma. He aims to help people regain control over mood, reduce panic or obsessive thoughts, and find clearer pathways through grief or major change.

If someone is ready to begin, he supports small steps and practical changes. Clients can expect steady focus on coping skills, thinking patterns, and goals they choose together.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and empathy. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building trust and exploring identity, relationship concerns, and men's issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and skill practice to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful routines. CBT often includes homework and clear goals to track progress.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, works with traumatic memories using structured sets of attention and processing. It can help people who struggle with lingering trauma, panic, or intense reactions tied to past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest one or more approaches to try. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to keep, adapt, or change the plan as work progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Because formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. That step helps ensure sessions match the client's needs, work with their daily routine, and let them try focused skill practice, shorter check-ins, or longer sessions as appropriate.
