About David
David Burkett is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Arizona with seven years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and trauma. David aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for someone who may be worried or overwhelmed.
He uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections shape current relationships and emotional patterns. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered approaches to help clients notice what matters, accept hard feelings, and pursue meaningful change.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. David often helps people untangle issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, communication problems, and codependency. He also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image worries, and the fallout from divorce or separation.
He addresses both everyday stressors and deeper wounds such as trauma and abuse. In session he focuses on practical steps alongside emotional processing. That can mean building new communication habits, practicing acceptance skills, or working through painful memories.
He looks for small, doable changes that improve daily life. People who prefer a calm, respectful conversation and a clear plan for moving forward tend to do well with his style. David aims to create a steady space where clients can explore feelings, test new behaviors, and rebuild a sense of trust in themselves and their relationships.

Online support
How attachment and acceptance work in online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns affect current relationships and feelings. In brief online sessions this can mean noticing how trust, distance, or avoidance show up and practicing different ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and managing ongoing stress by building tolerance for difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals and preferences. That might mean leaning more on attachment ideas one week and practicing ACT skills the next, always adjusting as progress is made.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and exercises that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief reflections, skill practice between sessions, or staying connected on a flexible schedule. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
