01About David
David Burkett is a licensed professional counselor in Arizona who helps people work through anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and trauma. He brings seven years of experience and focuses on creating a calm, respectful space for people to talk through what matters most to them. He uses clear, practical methods so people can begin to feel steadier day to day.
Sessions often focus on skills for managing stress, communicating more clearly, and coping with painful memories.
Background and approach
David pays attention to attachment patterns and how early relationships shape current struggles. His style is collaborative and person-centered. He listens first, then helps people set small, achievable goals.
He works with people who are wrestling with shame, guilt, loss, or feeling stuck after major life changes. David draws on evidence-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to introduce useful tools. He also uses Emotionally-Focused ideas and attachment work to address relationship and connection issues.
These approaches are explained in plain language and adapted to each person's needs. In a typical session he helps people notice what matters, practice new ways of relating, and try different behaviors between sessions. People leave with practical steps they can use immediately.
His Arizona practice emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when emotions are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to change mood and functioning. It is often used for stress, low mood, and anxiety. Attachment-Based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current connections, which can help with intimacy and trust issues.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk through each option and try methods that match the client's goals and comfort level. If something isn't working, the plan can be adjusted together rather than stuck in one method.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and do deeper conversation, while phone sessions can be lighter and easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins, coaching-like support, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health routines while keeping consistent therapeutic momentum.
