About David

David Burkett is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Arizona who helps people navigate strong emotions and life changes. He focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. David aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk honestly and begin to feel steadier.

He blends practical tools with listening that centers each person's story. Sessions look at relationship patterns, attachment issues, and how past wounds affect current behavior.

Background and approach

He also addresses specific concerns such as abandonment fears, communication problems, codependency, and body image worries. David uses several approaches to fit different needs, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and cognitive behavioral work. He works collaboratively to pick strategies that match a client's goals and day-to-day realities.

That might mean learning new ways to respond to stress, changing thought patterns, or practicing different ways to ask for what you need. Therapy with him tends to be steady and practical. He focuses on small, achievable shifts rather than quick fixes.

Parents reading on a phone will find clear language and a straightforward process for getting started. With seven years of experience, he brings both clinical background and real-world problem solving. He supports people coping with trauma and abuse, chronic illness, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and the long tail of family-of-origin difficulties.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings and how they shape close connections. It helps people understand painful emotions and practice new ways of responding in relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and to take actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors, and gives concrete exercises to reduce anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore your goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you meet face to face from wherever you are. Phone sessions can fit into a commute or a lunchtime break and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options let people match format to energy levels, schedule constraints, and communication style.
