About David
David Adames is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 18 years of experience. He uses practical talk and steady support to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. He emphasizes the client's own strengths and perspective as the starting point for change.
David focuses on clear, usable tools rather than jargon. Sessions aim to identify what matters to the client, reduce overwhelming symptoms, and build steps toward a more manageable day-to-day life.
Background and approach
He draws on several approaches to match what each person needs. He often works with people coping with grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, addiction concerns, and career stress. Other areas he addresses include abandonment, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and family of origin issues.
He also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and challenges tied to LGBT identity. In the room he favors collaboration and straightforward goal-setting. Clients can expect discussions about immediate coping strategies alongside longer-term values-based planning.
He encourages small, steady changes that fit each person's life. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. David provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and he helps people find the format that fits their routine and comfort level.
Approach-driven care delivered online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps toward the life they want while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to change routines and reactions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship so clients feel heard while they work through whatever brought them to therapy.Finding the right approach is part of the work. David will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean using one approach more than another or combining tools over time to address symptoms and build lasting habits.
Online care is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls support face-to-face conversation for deeper exploration. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins or when a shorter touchpoint fits into a busy day. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines while still working toward concrete changes.
