About David
David Kurfman is a licensed mental health counselor with 35 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, panic disorder and panic attacks, and trouble with anger or self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, addiction, and major life changes.
He works in a calm, respectful way that centers the person in front of him. Sessions focus on talking through what feels most urgent, learning concrete coping skills, and noticing patterns that keep problems going. He draws on several therapeutic approaches to match the needs of each person.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on warm, nonjudgmental listening. The therapist follows the person’s lead and helps them name what matters most, which can be useful for grief, shame, and low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses clear steps to change thinking and behavior. It helps with anxiety, panic, stress, and mood problems by teaching practical coping skills and small behavioral experiments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and combine methods based on a person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can shift as needs change.
Session logistics should fit into everyday life. The biography does not list which online formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Others prefer longer meetings for deeper exploration. A conversation about format and pacing happens early, so sessions match routines and goals.
