About David
Dr. David Dohm is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona with 30 years of experience. He sees adults and has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, substance use, sexual identity questions, OCD, ADHD, and parenting issues.
He uses straightforward, person-focused work. Sessions are interactive. He listens to practical problems and helps people develop skills to manage mood, sleep, anger, and stress. He also addresses relationship strain, family-related concerns, and questions that come from blended households or family of origin issues.
David draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits. He also uses client-centered listening and mindfulness practices for managing anxiety and improving attention. For trauma-related difficulties he includes approaches that aim to process difficult memories and reduce their emotional hold.
Over three decades he has seen people in clinics and community settings and helped with addictions, grief, panic, and compulsive problems. He pays attention to co-occurring issues like mood disorders, substance use, and codependency when they appear together.
Practical goals come first in his work: better sleep, more stable mood, clearer boundaries, or improved day-to-day coping. He asks about each person's life and adjusts strategies to what actually fits their routine. If you want to explore whether his style matches your needs, he asks new people to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and using the client's experience to guide the work. Online sessions focus on what matters most to the person and ensure conversations drive the plan. This approach helps with relationship strain, parenting concerns, and managing day-to-day stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then tests small changes. Online CBT often uses practical exercises and short homework between sessions to reduce anxiety, depression, panic, and compulsive habits.
EMDR is an approach used for processing trauma memories and reducing their emotional intensity. When it is part of care, the therapist explains the steps clearly and works at a pace the client can manage; it can be combined with other skills-based work for sleep and mood problems.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and daily routines with each person and recommends methods that fit those needs. Sessions adapt over time as goals change and progress is reviewed together.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can also use brief phone or video exchanges to follow up on skills practice between longer sessions.
