About David
Dr. David Dohm is an Arizona Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of clinical experience. He works with adults and children on concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, substance use, OCD, ADHD, relationship and sexual identity issues, and grief.
He uses practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different ways of responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of his approach, along with client-centered work, EMDR, mindfulness techniques, and motivational interviewing. Sessions are interactive and focused on clear steps a person can take between meetings.
Dr. Dohm has worked in many settings over three decades, giving him experience with a broad range of problems and life stages. He aims to reduce stigma about mental health and to treat people with respect and sensitivity. He avoids labeling and focuses on what is getting in the way of daily functioning.
In a session he talks through current problems, identifies patterns in thinking and behavior, and tests small changes. He may use mindfulness to reduce stress, EMDR for trauma-related issues, and motivational interviewing to address substance use or readiness for change. Progress is measured by practical shifts in routines, sleep, mood, and relationships.
People get a straightforward plan and steps they can try between sessions. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session scheduled through the online options button.
Background and approach details are included here to give a clearer picture of what typical work looks like and how CBT methods fit into the overall practice.
How CBT, client-centered work and EMDR translate to online sessions
Dr. Dohm uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking and behavior and to try small, testable changes. CBT sessions focus on concrete goals and exercises that can be practiced between meetings, which can work well in a remote format. Client-centered approaches emphasize listening and reflecting; online conversations follow the same step-by-step structure to make sure concerns are understood and priorities are clear. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that involves bilateral stimulation and guided processing; when appropriate it is adapted to a conversational, paced format for remote sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That means checking how a technique feels, adjusting pace, and combining tools such as mindfulness, motivational interviewing, or CBT exercises when helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule sessions around work or family demands, reduce travel time, and allow a shorter phone or video check-in when that fits a person's day. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework for remote use so progress can continue between meetings.
