About David

David Adames is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 18 years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes. He frames clients as experts in their own stories and looks for existing strengths to build on during care.

He aims to make starting therapy less daunting. He acknowledges that asking for help takes courage and offers steady support as people begin to change. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as talking through patterns that hold them back.

David uses several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and to clarify values. Client-centered methods guide the work so the person’s goals stay central.

He also incorporates elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and existential ideas when they fit the situation. That can mean learning emotion regulation skills, practicing new ways of relating, or working through questions about purpose and meaning.

David works with a wide range of concerns including relationship problems, grief, parenting stress, addictions, ADHD, and career questions. He offers sessions in English and Spanish. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How these approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them control actions. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the person’s lead so goals stay meaningful.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to fit the client’s goals and preferences. People often try one method and adjust over time as needs change.

Confirm the current online session formats before booking. When arranged, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also make it simpler to work through emotion regulation skills, practice new behaviors between meetings, and maintain continuity during life transitions.
