About David
David Adames is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 18 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life transitions. David also helps people dealing with relationship concerns, parenting strain, addictions, and family of origin issues.
He approaches sessions assuming clients know their own stories. He listens for patterns that started in childhood or within families of origin, and then points out how those patterns show up now. Conversations are direct and practical, focusing on what people can try between appointments.
David uses a mix of methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to rework thinking, and acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and next steps. He also uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions focused on the person in front of him.
People often come to him for help with feeling stuck by old family roles, problems with communication, or issues around abandonment and dependency. He also works with those managing anger, grief, career stress, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Spanish and English sessions are available.
Sessions move at a steady pace and include practical exercises and homework when useful. The first meeting is used to map concerns and set clear goals. David asks about what has already helped and what has not, then builds a plan based on that information.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when family patterns make it hard to act on what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and repeated interaction styles in relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust that plan as progress is made.
