About David

Dr. David Dohm brings three decades of clinical experience to his practice and draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a central framework for helping clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Background and approach

He blends this with client-centered sensitivity and trauma-focused methods to address issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, and a broad range of mood and relationship concerns. His approach emphasizes respect, compassion, and an interactive therapeutic relationship rather than labels.

Licensed in Arizona as an LPC, he has worked in diverse settings with adults and children and attends to additional challenges like family-of-origin concerns, blended family issues, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic, and problems linked to substance use. Dr.

Dohm frames therapy as a collaborative effort: he supports clients who are ready to take steps toward change and adapts strategies to match individual needs, drawing on mindfulness and motivational techniques when helpful.

He encourages anyone considering therapy to view the first step as an act of courage and offers guidance focused on practical coping, emotional processing, and building skills for longer-term resilience.

CBT, EMDR, and Client-Centered Care Online

Dr. Dohm commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients recognize unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies for changing behaviors and managing symptoms like anxiety, panic, and depressive thinking. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of his practice, emphasizing empathy, respect, and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while exploring their goals. He incorporates EMDR for trauma-focused work when appropriate, using guided processing techniques to help reduce distress tied to traumatic memories.

Selecting the right approach is a shared process; the therapist works with each person to identify what fits best based on their concerns, goals, and preferences. He adapts methods over time, combining skills-based CBT work, mindfulness practices, and trauma-informed interventions as needed to address presenting problems.

Online therapy with Dr. Dohm is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and the chance to access care from home or other locations. These formats make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice tools between sessions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while pursuing therapy goals.
