Dr. David Dohm, LPC - Therapist in Arizona

About David

Dr. David Dohm offers a straightforward, person-focused approach to therapy. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC with three decades of experience in Arizona.

He listens carefully, helps people name the main problems, and works with them to find practical next steps. Many clients seek him out for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting concerns. He uses methods that match each person's situation rather than one fixed formula.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions.

Background and approach

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be used when past events keep causing intense reactions. Client-centered techniques focus on respect and collaboration during sessions. Dr.

Dohm has worked across a wide range of issues, including mood disorders, ADHD, addictions, sleep problems, grief, and anger. He also addresses family problems and parenting challenges. His background includes supporting people through complicated medical or disaster-related stresses and co-occurring conditions.

Sessions are offered in English and aim to be practical. He draws on motivational interviewing and mindfulness to build small, manageable changes over time. The therapeutic pace is set by each person’s needs and comfort.

For those ready to start, he guides clients through a short intake and then focuses on clear goals. Progress is tracked in ways that make sense to the client, with adjustments as needed.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered work means the therapist follows the person's lead, offers empathy, and helps set goals together. This approach is useful when someone needs a safe space to talk through feelings and figure out what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a structured approach for people who have strong reactions tied to past events. It helps reduce the intensity of those memories so daily life becomes easier to manage.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then choose methods together. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to practical needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, follow up between meetings, and keep momentum when schedules change. For many people, remote formats make consistent care more accessible and easier to maintain over time.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
