David Burkett

David Burkett is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona who helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship difficulties. He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space so clients can talk about hard things and work toward clearer, practical next steps. He emphasizes ways to cope with stress and the everyday impacts of emotional pain.

With seven years of clinical experience, he focuses on common struggles like social anxiety, isolation, shame, and communication problems. He also addresses attachment concerns, abandonment feelings, and issues such as body image, codependency, and caregiver stress. His work includes helping people manage chronic pain or long-term health challenges and navigate major life changes like divorce and separation.

His style is collaborative and client-centered. Sessions tend to be conversational and directed by the person seeking help, while the therapist offers questions, reflections, and exercises to try between meetings. He uses practical tools to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and test small changes in daily life.

He draws on several approaches, including cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based perspectives, and emotion-focused techniques. These methods are blended to fit each person’s goals rather than applied the same way for everyone.

People who want a steady, empathic guide for sorting emotional overwhelm and improving relationships may find this style helpful. To begin, follow the site’s steps to connect and schedule a first session based on current availability.

Approaches that guide online work and what they do

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stuckness.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships. It helps people understand triggers around intimacy, abandonment, or distance and practice new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathic listening stance where the person sets the pace and goals. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to process grief, shame, or major life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion usually happens early and can change as new priorities emerge.

Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins on hectic days or longer sessions when more time is helpful. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking so you know what to expect.
