About David
Dr. David Dohm is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona with 30 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
He has worked in many settings and with a broad range of concerns including OCD, substance use, and questions of sexual identity. His practice emphasizes a straightforward, interactive style. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings and on clear ways to notice what is and isn't working in daily life.
His approach draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective, and cognitive behavioral techniques that look at thoughts and actions. He also uses EMDR for trauma-related work and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.
In session he listens for patterns that keep a person stuck, such as people-pleasing, trouble setting limits, or living around someone else's moods or substance use. Then he helps clients test small changes - changing a reaction, trying a boundary, or shifting a daily routine - and sees what feels doable.
He asks about what matters most to the client and works collaboratively to set goals. New clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule an initial appointment to begin practical, step-by-step work.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective, with the therapist reflecting concerns and priorities so the client can clarify what matters. This approach helps people who feel lost in others' needs or who want to reassert their own preferences.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It gives concrete tools and experiments to try between sessions, which can reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for trauma-related memories and involves guided attention while processing distressing material; it can reduce the intensity of traumatic memories for some people.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide whether client-centered methods, CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, or a mix fits best. That choice can change as progress is made, and the therapist will check in regularly.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make fitting sessions into a busy week easier, allow quieter check-ins that don’t need a long commute, and let people use mindfulness or behavioral practice in their everyday setting. The focus remains on practical skills, testing changes between meetings, and adjusting plans to suit the client's life.
