01About David
David Kurfman is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people deal with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and problems with self-esteem. He draws on 35 years of experience to support people facing trauma, grief, addictions, and ADHD-related struggles. His approach is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping people find better daily coping skills.
In sessions he focuses on what matters most to the client. He listens closely, helps people name patterns that get in the way, and works with them to try new ways of responding.
Background and approach
He uses a mix of practical talk and reflective listening to help people manage mood disorders, panic, and social anxiety. David also supports people wrestling with relationship and family problems, adoption and foster care issues, parenting stress, and feelings of emptiness or guilt. He pays attention to how past experiences affect current choices and relationships.
That lets him help people make changes that fit their life situation. He uses several well-established methods, including client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, psychodynamic ideas about early patterns, and solution-focused ways to set goals. Those approaches are mixed to match each person's needs rather than applied the same way to everyone.
Based in Indiana, he holds the credentials LMHC and LPC and provides care in English. People will find his style calm and steady, with an emphasis on practical steps and real-world progress.

04Online support
How his approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathy, and helps people explore what matters to them, which can help with low self-esteem, grief, and stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and new skills to reduce anxiety, panic attacks, and depressive thinking patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that can change as progress is made.
Online sessions bring practical flexibility. Video calls allow real-time conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for quick support, check-ins, or working through short tasks between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, travel, or busy family life by making it easier to connect from different places.
