About David
Dr. David Dohm uses a straightforward, person-focused approach to help people manage stress, mood problems, anxiety, and trauma. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with thirty years of experience.
He talks plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person. He combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools to help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits. He also draws on EMDR and mindfulness when trauma or intense emotional memories get in the way of daily life.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and shaped around practical goals you set together. David has long experience with depression, bipolar disorder, panic and obsessive thoughts, and ADHD. He also helps people dealing with addictions, grief, low self-esteem, anger, and life transitions.
Relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, and issues related to sexual identity are among other topics he addresses. In sessions he focuses on clear steps you can use between meetings. That may mean learning coping strategies, practicing relaxation and mindfulness skills, or testing small behavior changes.
He uses motivational interviewing to support commitment and follow-through. People often choose him for steady, experienced guidance when things feel overwhelming. He emphasizes respect, nonjudgment, and practical problem solving so people can make steady progress.
Approach-driven care online with flexible session types
Dr. Dohm commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy means the therapist listens with empathy and helps people define their own goals, useful for stress, identity concerns, and relationship questions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, or panic attacks, with practical exercises to try between meetings.EMDR is also part of his toolkit when trauma memories are interfering with daily life; it involves structured processing of difficult memories and can reduce their emotional hold. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in early sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer real flexibility. Video calls let you work face to face from wherever you are. Phone sessions can fit a busy day or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter check-ins, ongoing support between meetings, or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into a real-life schedule.
