Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. David Dohm commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide his work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a strong therapeutic relationship so clients feel understood and supported while exploring personal goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and is often effective for anxiety, depression, and related symptoms.

He also incorporates EMDR when trauma processing is appropriate. EMDR uses structured attention to help people reprocess distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity when trauma has a clear impact on daily functioning. These approaches offer different pathways to relief, and Dr. David Dohm collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and varied communication styles. For many people, remote sessions make it easier to access licensed professionals and maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
