About David
David Burkett is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona with seven years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. He helps people notice patterns that keep problems going and find practical ways to change them.
He works with common issues like social anxiety, isolation, problems with communication, and workplace stress. He also addresses attachment struggles, shame, guilt, and the effects of past hurt. Sessions tend to center on clear goals and step-by-step strategies rather than abstract theory.
David uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. He combines practical skills work with chances to reflect on relationship patterns. That mix helps people change unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors in everyday life.
Meetings are collaborative. He listens for recurring thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns, then suggests specific exercises and experiments to try between sessions. He also works on emotional awareness and improving communication where that is relevant.
His practice is aimed at adults in Arizona who want structured, usable strategies for feeling less stuck. To begin, people typically complete an initial questionnaire and schedule a first session so they and David can decide on next steps together.
How his approaches work for online sessions
David uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear exercises and homework. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into manageable steps.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, and to clarify what matters most so actions line up with values. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at long-term patterns in relationships and how early connection styles affect current interactions.
Deciding which method to use is a collaborative process. He will review concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend approaches to try together. That lets the client test what fits and adjust the plan as progress is made.
