Dr. David Dohm, LPC

Dr. David Dohm brings a practical, person-focused approach to therapy. He is an LPC with three decades of experience and works in Arizona. He offers straightforward support for common struggles such as depression, anxiety, trauma, substance concerns, OCD, ADHD, and issues around sexual identity.

He keeps sessions open and interactive. Conversations focus on what’s happening now and on concrete steps people can try between meetings. Thoughts and everyday habits are a common part of the work, using techniques that look at patterns of thinking and behavior. He favors clear language over labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity.

Over 30 years Dr. Dohm has worked in many settings with adults and children. That background informs a flexible way of responding to different needs. He draws on a mix of approaches, choosing methods to fit each person’s situation rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

In sessions he combines reflective listening with practical exercises. That might include noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, learning calming skills, or rehearsing new ways to handle conflict or cravings. Clients are invited to set goals and track small changes.

People who reach out can expect a direct but compassionate style. Dr. Dohm aims to support growth by helping people notice habits, test new behaviors, and build on what already works. He offers guidance while encouraging each person’s own insight and strengths.

How chosen approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to each person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s pace, offers reflective feedback, and helps people clarify what matters to them. This approach can help when someone needs a calm, respectful space to talk through identity, grief, or relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions often include tracking thinking patterns, trying new behaviors, and practicing short exercises between meetings. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, OCD symptoms, and everyday habit changes.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that works with memories and the body’s reactions. It is commonly used for trauma and abuse-related symptoms and is offered within a structured session plan.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on progress and comfort.

Session logistics and formats are not listed here; please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that remote sessions still support real change when paired with practical homework and steady follow-up.
