About David
David Hayden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. He focuses on practical steps people can use right away. He offers a calm, respectful presence and aims to meet people where they are when they start therapy.
He draws on 18 years of experience to tailor conversations and plans to each person's needs. Sessions aim to build skills for managing strong emotions like anger and to address challenges such as addictions, sleeping difficulties, and low self-esteem. He also works with issues around relationships, career strain, and life transitions.
His approach blends methods that help people notice their thoughts, choose values-based actions, and change unhelpful behavior patterns. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify what matters most and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift thinking that causes distress. For relationship work he uses the Gottman Method tools to improve communication and problem-solving.
David also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and concerns tied to adoption, aging, first responder experiences, and veteran issues. He adapts the pace and focus depending on each person's history and goals.
If someone wants to begin, he asks them to complete the site's short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. He explains the plan together so clients know what to expect and how to measure progress.
