About David
David Adames uses practical, person-focused therapy methods to help people manage stress and anxiety. He emphasizes each person's strengths and works alongside them as they face hard moments. David is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, with 18 years of experience in Colorado.
He helps people dealing with trauma, depression, and major life transitions. He also addresses compassion fatigue, addictions, grief, parenting pressures, and self-esteem struggles. His work includes support around relationship and family problems, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.
How David works
David draws from several approaches to match the needs of each person. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps with identifying unhelpful thinking and changing patterns.
Client-centered work keeps the conversation grounded in what matters most to the individual. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and can be through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. David focuses on clear goals and practical steps, like skill practice and problem-solving between sessions.
He encourages small, steady changes rather than all-or-nothing shifts. People who reach out start by filling a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits. The subscription-based sessions can be canceled at any time.
David aims to make therapy understandable and doable for people juggling busy lives.

Online support options
Approach-based therapy online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values, which helps when life feels stuck or stressful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or depression. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, offering empathy and support while people find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals and try methods that fit the client’s preferences and needs. Together they adjust the work over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people read facial cues and have face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
