David Kurfman

David Kurfman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Indiana with 35 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and trouble with self-esteem. He also works with concerns like trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, and issues tied to adoption and foster care. David aims to offer steady support for people coping with major life changes and intense emotions.

He brings a faith-informed perspective while focusing on what each person needs in the moment. Sessions emphasize listening, understanding, and practical steps to reduce distress. People can expect straightforward conversations that address daily struggles and long-standing patterns.

David uses several therapy approaches to fit different needs. He draws on client-centered work to make space for each person’s experience. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns that may come from the past.

Over decades of practice he has helped people with relationship strain, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and mood disorders including bipolar concerns. He supports those dealing with panic, social anxiety, guilt, and shame. Intellectual disability is listed among his additional focus areas and appears alongside other concerns he attends to.

Sessions are offered in English, and he accepts international clients. To begin, a reader can use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on therapist availability.

How these approaches guide online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and aims to create understanding through active listening and empathy. This approach helps when someone needs a space to talk through emotions and feel heard without judgment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and offers concrete steps to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and patterns that keep people stuck.

Psychodynamic work pays attention to recurring patterns and how past experiences shape current reactions. It can help when habits and relationships repeat in ways that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend ways of working that match what the client wants. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, require less travel, or allow a shorter check-in when needed. Online work can also make it simpler to keep momentum between meetings and to try tools such as worksheets and thought records during or after sessions.
