David Kurfman, LMHC, LPC

David Kurfman is an Indiana-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 35 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting struggles, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

He uses straightforward conversation and practical techniques. He listens to the history people bring, then helps them name patterns that keep problems alive. That can mean spotting thoughts that escalate anger, testing small behavior changes, or examining long-running relationship dynamics.

David draws on client-centered methods to prioritize the client's perspective and on cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current reactions, and solution-focused work to set clear short-term goals.

Typical sessions combine talk with specific strategies. For someone managing anger this might include identifying triggers, practicing brief behavioral alternatives, and building clearer communication skills. For anxiety or panic he may use gradual exposure and thought-challenging exercises.

He integrates personal belief systems when clients want that included, and he attends to feelings such as guilt, shame, emptiness, and compassion fatigue. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
