About David

Dr. David Dohm uses an approach that centers on the person in front of him. He combines practical strategies with listening and support to help people facing stress, anxiety, mood problems, trauma, and issues with attention or substance use.

He is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, based in Arizona with three decades of experience. Clients can expect straightforward, respectful sessions that avoid labels and focus on concrete steps. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns.

Background and approach

He also uses client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in each person's values and goals. EMDR is part of his clinical toolbox for addressing trauma and painful memories when that is appropriate. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with emotion regulation, sleep, and stress reduction.

Motivational interviewing supports people working through readiness for change, especially with addictions or ambivalence about treatment. His background includes long-term work in a variety of settings with adults and children, and with concerns that range from mood disorders to relationship and identity questions. He keeps sessions collaborative and practical, helping people set short-term goals and track progress.

People who choose him often want clear strategies plus a respectful, nonjudgmental space. He aims to help clients build coping skills and find calmer ways to face life changes and ongoing challenges.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building trust. In online sessions this means the therapist offers acceptance and reflects what matters to the client, helping people clarify goals and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical tools to change thoughts and behaviors; it works well over video or phone for mood, anxiety, OCD, and sleep problems because homework and skill practice can be assigned between sessions. EMDR is used as one method to address traumatic memories when appropriate; elements of EMDR can be adapted to remote formats with careful planning and collaboration between therapist and client.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and focused on what produces noticeable progress for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility and multiple ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates, in-between support, and easier scheduling for busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while still working on meaningful change.
