About David

David Burkett is a licensed professional counselor in Arizona with seven years of clinical experience. He helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns. He focuses on clear, practical steps people can use between sessions.

He creates a calm, accepting space where people can talk about painful memories and current struggles. He listens for patterns tied to attachment, abandonment, and family of origin issues, then helps clients notice what they want to change.

Background and approach

He also addresses body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and codependency concerns. David blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. He uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking.

He draws on emotionally-focused and attachment-based work to examine how people connect and react in relationships. He also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help clients act on values even when feelings are strong. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person.

David prefers straightforward language and concrete strategies, such as communication tools, behavioral experiments, and coping plans. He offers options like video, phone, chat, and messaging to fit different schedules. People who want a therapist who balances warmth with practical tools often find his style helpful.

He aims to help clients build steadier relationships with themselves and others, recover from difficult experiences, and take steps toward the life they want.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

David uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping. He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationships shape current reactions and to strengthen emotional bonds and self-understanding. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs his work on relationship and communication problems by identifying core emotions and shifting interaction patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods so they fit how a person thinks and lives. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
