David Kurfman

David Kurfman is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship strain. He brings 35 years of experience to sessions and aims to create a calm, steady space for people to talk through difficult moments.

He uses straightforward, practical work in therapy. That can mean learning tools to manage panic or anger, talking through patterns that keep problems repeating, and planning small steps to improve day-to-day life. Sessions move at a pace the client can handle and focus on what is useful right now.

His background includes long experience with trauma and mood concerns, and he also addresses grief, addictions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. He pays attention to how guilt, shame, or emptiness affect choices and relationships, and helps people sort through those feelings.

David draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs, including client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral strategies, psychodynamic reflection, and solution-focused planning. He explains options plainly and works with clients to pick what fits best.

Practice location is Indiana and sessions are conducted in English. He accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to his availability.

How his approaches translate to online work

David often uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in his practice. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and following what the person brings up, helping them find their own solutions and build confidence. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers concrete tools to change thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety, anger, or low mood, and is useful for panic, depression, and impulsivity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He discusses options with each person and adjusts methods based on goals, needs, and how someone responds to early sessions. The plan can shift as progress is made so the work stays practical and relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find it simpler to try tools between sessions and then bring questions back quickly during an online meeting. Licensed professionals can still use these approaches effectively when sessions are arranged to suit the client's schedule and preferences.
