About David
David Kurfman is a licensed mental health counselor with 35 years of clinical experience. He focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, and other common struggles that make daily life harder. David offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to cope.
He listens first and helps people name what they are feeling. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. David uses strategies that fit each person's goals and pace rather than one fixed method.
Background and approach
Over his career he has worked with many issues, including panic and social anxiety, mood and bipolar concerns, trauma and grief, and problems related to addiction and impulsivity. He also assists people managing family conflict, adoption and foster care concerns, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. David draws on several therapy approaches in session.
He blends client-centered conversations with cognitive-behavioral techniques and psychodynamic ideas when useful. Solution-focused methods help set short-term goals and track progress. He is licensed in Indiana as an LMHC and also holds an LPC in Tennessee.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients may be served. The tone of his work is respectful, practical, and aimed at helping people build clearer ways to handle stress and anxiety.
How David’s Approaches Fit Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience through careful listening and empathy; it helps people feel heard and shape goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. David discusses options with clients and adapts methods based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaboration helps people try techniques and decide what feels most helpful over time.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a quicker check-in when schedules are tight. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or use shorter, focused check-ins when that is most practical.
