About David
Dr. David Dohm is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona with 30 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, ADHD, relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep problems, anger, and related concerns.
His practice uses clear, conversational therapy rather than jargon. Sessions are interactive and focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. He draws on client-centered ideas to build collaborative conversations, and on cognitive behavioral methods to identify thoughts and behaviors that feed distress.
EMDR is one of the approaches he includes when trauma memories are central to symptoms. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with racing thoughts, emotional reactivity, and sleep difficulties. Motivational interviewing is used when someone is ambivalent about change, for example around substance use or lifestyle shifts.
He describes his work as nonjudgmental and straightforward. In practice that means setting concrete goals, tracking small changes, and adjusting methods when something is not helping. People can expect a mix of talking, practical skill-building, and guided exercises.
Dr. Dohm has worked in a range of settings across his career. That broad background informs how he helps people manage mood disorders, obsessive patterns, grief, family of origin issues, and the practical ripple effects of anger and frustration.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so the therapist and client set goals together and adjust pace based on needs. This approach helps when someone wants a practical, conversational process for sorting out anger and day-to-day stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and behaviors that maintain problems. Online sessions can include guided exercises, homework, and step-by-step behavioral experiments to reduce reactivity and improve coping.
EMDR is used for processing traumatic memories that contribute to strong emotional reactions. When trauma memories are part of the issue, EMDR methods can be offered to address those memories and their current impact.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in early sessions. That decision is revisited as progress is made.

Online work can also make it simpler to use worksheets or recorded mindfulness practices between meetings.
