About David
Dr. David Dohm is an Arizona Licensed Professional Counselor with 30 years of experience. He offers a direct, respectful style that focuses on understanding each person's situation and practical ways to move forward.
He is comfortable discussing concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and substance use. In sessions he emphasizes collaboration. He listens first, then helps people set clear goals and small steps they can try between meetings.
He uses tools from cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and from client-centered work to keep the talk focused on what matters to the person.
Background and approach
Dr. Dohm also brings in mindfulness ideas to help with stress and sleep, and EMDR techniques for people coping with trauma and abuse when appropriate. Motivational Interviewing is used to support changes around addictions or other behaviors that feel stuck.
He describes his style as open and nonjudgmental. People can expect straightforward conversations and practical strategies rather than heavy theory. He avoids stigmatizing labels and aims to treat everyone with respect and sensitivity.
With three decades of practice he has worked in different settings and with many kinds of concerns, including bipolar disorder, OCD, grief, anger, relationship and family issues, and challenges tied to sexual identity. He can explain how different approaches might help and will work with each person to choose a path that fits their goals.
How his approaches translate to online care
Dr. Dohm uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's priorities. That approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at a pace that feels right for the individual, which helps when sorting out goals for stress, relationships, or identity concerns.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT offers concrete skills to manage anxiety, mood swings, sleep, and ADHD-related challenges, such as breaking tasks into steps and testing unhelpful thoughts.
Finding the right combination of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. Sessions may evolve as progress is made or as new priorities appear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people communicate in smaller moments across the week and keep momentum between sessions.
