About David
Dr. David Dohm is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona with 30 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, relationship concerns, LGBT issues, grief, sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, and self-esteem. David also addresses trauma and abuse and a range of mood and behavior concerns.
He uses an interactive, person-focused way of working that centers on the client's perspective. Sessions combine elements of client-centered practice, cognitive-behavioral methods, EMDR, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix is used to clarify goals, practice new skills, and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life.
Over three decades David has worked across settings and with varied presentations, including co-occurring conditions, obsessive-compulsive issues, panic, substance problems, and family-of-origin or blended family tensions. He approaches complex histories without relying on labels and aims to address both immediate problems and patterns that maintain them.
In sessions he will listen, ask straightforward questions, and offer practical strategies you can try between meetings. Expect a focus on skills practice, behavior change, and short-term experiments to test what helps. He also uses trauma-focused techniques when past events continue to cause distress.
People who choose him often want clear steps and tools rather than long philosophical discussion. He works in English and practices in Arizona. To begin, the service asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and can set their own goals; online sessions use those same skills to clarify what matters most and guide the plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to change patterns; online meetings can introduce tools, assign short practices, and review progress together. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distress tied to past events and uses structured protocols to reduce emotional charge; parts of EMDR can be taught and practiced in remote sessions depending on the client's needs.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made or new issues arise.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around classes, shifts, or job breaks and can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and phone-based options if bandwidth is limited; check the available formats and choose what fits your routine.
