About David
David Burkett is an Arizona Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of experience. He works with adults facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and grief. He also focuses on issues people often carry alongside those concerns, such as shame and guilt, attachment challenges, and caregiver stress.
He uses a straightforward, person-centered style. Sessions emphasize open conversation and practical steps. Clients can expect to talk through patterns that keep them stuck and try out new ways of relating to themselves and others.
David combines several evidence-informed approaches to match what someone needs in the room. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors. He also uses Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused techniques when relationship patterns are central.
In therapy with him, people explore how past experiences shape current feelings like shame or guilt. He pays attention to family of origin issues, abandonment, and communication problems that keep relationships strained. The work often includes experimenting with small behavioral changes between sessions.
Practical matters are part of the process. He will discuss what a reasonable pace looks like and what steps to take next. People interested in starting are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.
How his approaches translate to online work
David often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and the avoidance that often accompanies shame. He also relies on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and communication; this can help when mistrust or fear of abandonment shows up in relationships.Choosing a method is part of the work together. He will discuss options and adapt techniques based on the client’s goals and what feels useful in sessions. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus more on thoughts and behaviors, on emotional bonds, or on acceptance strategies.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the bio does not specify them here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break or joining a session without needing travel time. It also allows consistent weekly meetings when schedules are tight. The practical aim is to make therapy workable alongside everyday responsibilities.
