About David

Dr. David Dohm is an Arizona-licensed LPC with three decades of clinical experience.

Background and approach

He integrates Internal Family Systems with client-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques to address a wide array of concerns, from anxiety, depression, and trauma to addictions, ADHD, and relationship and identity questions. His practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and an interactive style that encourages clients to explore their internal experience and develop practical coping skills.

Dr. Dohm draws on a range of evidence-informed methods including EMDR and mindfulness-based practices when appropriate, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs.

He has helped people navigate grief, sleep disturbances, mood disorders, compulsive symptoms, anger, parenting challenges, and complex family dynamics. He approaches clients without stigmatizing labels and works to create a collaborative environment where taking the first step toward change is met with support and practical guidance.

Integrating IFS, Client-Centered Care, and CBT Online

Dr. Dohm commonly blends Internal Family Systems with client-centered and cognitive behavioral therapy in online work. Internal Family Systems helps clients notice and dialogue with distinct internal parts to reduce internal conflict and heal from trauma-related patterns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and acceptance, creating a supportive space where a person’s priorities guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and he treats that as a collaborative exploration. He works with clients to clarify goals, assess what methods resonate, and adjust interventions over time so the work fits each person’s needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats allow for continuity of care when schedules or travel make in-person appointments difficult, and they support ongoing skill practice between meetings.
