About David
David Kurfman is a licensed counselor with 35 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. He offers steady, patient support for common struggles like self-esteem, addictions, grief, and coping with life changes. He is based in Indiana and works in English.
Clients can expect a calm, conversational style. Sessions focus on understanding what led to current problems and finding practical steps forward. He uses clear, everyday language and stays focused on what the person wants to change.
Background and approach
David draws on several established approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Client-Centered Therapy gives space for the person to guide sessions and be heard.
He also integrates psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-term patterns rooted in past experiences, and Solution-Focused Therapy to build small, achievable goals. Together these methods support work on issues like trauma, panic attacks, mood disorders, ADHD challenges, and relationship or family problems.
Over three decades in practice have involved many different cases, so he is used to adjusting the pace and tools to fit each person. He aims to help clients reduce distress and develop usable coping skills. The emphasis is on practical progress that fits the client’s life and values.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and letting the person set the pace and topics. Online sessions let that same open, person-led conversation happen through video, phone, or messaging so clients can talk when they feel ready.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT activities translate well to online work with worksheets, brief homework, and focused check-ins over text or video.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a few sessions and shifting if something else seems more helpful.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls provide face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a lunch break. Live chat and text make shorter check-ins possible and help people keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt methods to individual needs.
