About David
Dr. David Dohm uses a straightforward, person-focused approach to help people manage common and complex concerns. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with 30 years of clinical experience.
Dr. Dohm talks plainly and listens carefully so parents and individuals can find practical ways forward. He blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness practices.
That mix helps people change unhelpful thoughts, notice automatic reactions, and build new habits.
Background and approach
He also uses EMDR for trauma-related distress when appropriate and comfortable for the client. Many people come to him for anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, or problems with sleep and stress. He also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood issues, addictions, grief, anger, and low self-esteem.
Parenting is one of the areas he focuses on, and he helps parents manage stress, set routines, and cope with the emotional strain of raising children. Dr. Dohm has worked in multiple settings over three decades, seeing a wide range of concerns from substance use to obsessive-compulsive patterns.
He favors an open, nonjudgmental stance and avoids stigmatizing labels. Sessions are conversational and practical, with space for problem solving and skill building. People who choose him can expect collaborative work aimed at realistic goals.
He will help identify priorities, try strategies that fit daily life, and adjust the plan as needs change. His style is direct but compassionate, focused on usable steps rather than jargon.

Therapeutic approaches that work online for parents and adults
Dr. Dohm commonly draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so clients can talk through their concerns and decide what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thought patterns and behaviors to create practical steps for reducing anxiety, improving sleep, and managing mood swings.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used for trauma-related distress and involves guided processing that can reduce the intensity of painful memories. When EMDR is considered, the therapist and client discuss whether it fits the person's current needs and comfort level before proceeding.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Dohm treats choice of methods as a conversation. He will review goals, try strategies together, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to parenting stresses, mood symptoms, or trauma recovery.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, childcare, and daily routines.
