About David
Dr. David Dohm is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Arizona with 30 years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, substance issues, and family of origin concerns. The first lines of work often focus on immediate problems like sleep, anger, or panic, and then move into patterns that keep those problems repeating.
In sessions he uses clear, hands-on methods drawn from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral approaches. That means time is spent identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior. He also uses EMDR and mindfulness techniques when they fit the situation.
He has worked in a range of settings with people facing grief, relationship and sexual identity questions, addiction, and the overlap of multiple problems. This background gives him experience with co-morbidity and with issues that cross clinical boundaries, for example mood disorders combined with substance use or ADHD.
Practical skills are a feature of his practice. Sessions often include problem-solving, short experiments to try between meetings, and focused talking that clarifies recurring family roles and expectations. Parenting strain and blended family issues are areas he regularly addresses.
He writes plainly about difficult topics like guilt, shame, domestic violence, and antisocial personality concerns. Therapy is presented as a collaborative effort to change patterns learned in childhood and in family systems, including family of origin issues when people want to address them.
Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients who want to begin are asked to use the site process to match and schedule an initial meeting.
How his approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach typically spend time clarifying immediate concerns and goals, and the therapist follows the client’s lead to set priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and tests small changes. In remote meetings this often means creating brief experiments to try between sessions and reviewing what changed.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to address disturbing memories and reactions. When appropriate, the therapist adapts EMDR techniques for remote delivery and guides clients through paced processing exercises.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options together, consider the client’s goals and practical needs, and agree on steps to try. That collaborative decision shapes what methods are used and how sessions are structured.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy life - they can be easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins, or avoid camera use when needed. Talk with the therapist through the site process to clarify which formats he offers and how they will work for your schedule.
