About David
Dr. David Dohm offers a calm, practical approach that centers on mindfulness and thoughtful conversation. He is an Arizona-licensed professional counselor with 30 years of experience. He meets people where they are and focuses on what will help them feel steadier in day-to-day life.
He helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and substance use challenges. Relationship strain, sexual identity questions, grief, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem are also areas he addresses. He also works with related issues such as OCD symptoms, panic attacks, and co-occurring conditions.
His style is open, accepting, and interactive. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps, mindful awareness, and examining patterns that get in the way of feeling better. He uses methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive-behavioral ideas, mindfulness, EMDR, and motivational interviewing to help people notice what is happening and try new responses.
Dr. Dohm has worked in many settings with adults and children over three decades. That experience informs a flexible, down-to-earth way of meeting people where they are. He avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity.
Beginning therapy with him typically involves talking about immediate concerns, setting clear goals, and choosing simple techniques to practice between sessions. He aims to support and empower people as they try new ways of coping and making changes.
How his approaches translate to online work
Mindfulness Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts, sensations, and emotions without judgment and learning small, practical ways to stay present; it can help with anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and mood disruptions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, offering an accepting space to talk through concerns and clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, OCD symptoms, and panic.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then try approaches that feel like a good fit. That partnership helps shape which techniques are used and how sessions proceed.
Confirm current session options before booking, since the original biography does not list specific online formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it may reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins during a break, and make practicing mindfulness or homework between sessions more practical. Licensed professionals often tailor session length and pacing to what fits a client's schedule and needs.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
