About David
David Adames is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 18 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and major life changes. He also supports those facing compassion fatigue, addictions, parenting strain, and issues around identity and relationships.
David treats each person as the expert on their own story. He looks for strengths to build on and practical ways to make daily life easier. He emphasizes straightforward conversation and concrete steps rather than long lectures or jargon.
In sessions he helps people name what feels most urgent and then tries out strategies that fit their life. That may include tracking thoughts and behaviors, practicing skills for emotional regulation, or clarifying values and goals. The focus is on usable tools people can carry into real moments.
David has worked across a variety of settings during his 18 years in the field. That experience shapes a flexible style that blends active skills practice with open, accepting listening. He aims to make therapy feel collaborative and realistic for busy lives.
He offers services in both English and Spanish for people located in Colorado. If you are considering therapy, he asks only that you bring what you are experiencing and a willingness to try new ways of coping.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and major life changes when someone wants concrete ways to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and changing unhelpful behaviors through practical exercises and homework. It often helps with stress, anxiety, depression, and coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first, adapt them as needed, and check in about what is or is not helpful. This shared process helps tailor sessions to a person's goals and day-to-day demands.
Confirm the available session formats before booking to know how online meetings are offered. Online work can make attendance easier by fitting therapy into a busy schedule, reducing travel time, and allowing shorter check-ins when a full hour is not possible. It also supports steady, ongoing access to tools and exercises learned in sessions so people can apply them between meetings.
