About David

LMHC, LPC licensed in Indiana with 35 years of experience, David Kurfman helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and related concerns. He also works with issues around parenting, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar mood disorders, and relationship and family problems.

David uses straightforward, talk-based methods to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. He draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person. He also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.

In sessions he mixes longer-term reflection with short-term problem solving. That can mean looking at past experiences that shape current patterns, then setting concrete, step-by-step goals for change. He pays attention to feelings like guilt, shame, emptiness, and compassion fatigue, and helps people develop skills to cope with them.

His practice includes work with adoption and foster care issues, impulsivity and intellectual disability, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety and phobia. David frames therapy in direct language and practical tasks rather than technical jargon.

People who choose him should expect a collaborative process. The focus will be on clear strategies, honest conversation, and measuring progress over time. To begin, the site matching and scheduling tools are used to set up an initial session.

He offers help to English-speaking clients and accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions are provided through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns, clarifies priorities, and supports the client in choosing goals that feel important. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving; it is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from past experience and how those patterns show up now, which can help with long-standing relationship and self-esteem issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try, and adjust the plan based on needs, goals, and preferences. That process often means combining brief skill work with deeper reflection over several sessions.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let people continue work when they are living in a different place, since he accepts international clients. The focus will be on practical strategies, clear goals, and routines that fit everyday life.
