01About David
David Adames is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 18 years of experience in Colorado. He focuses on practical support for people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and major life changes. David speaks English and Spanish and centers sessions on the person in front of him.
He works from the idea that people know their own stories best. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. He helps clients notice strengths, build skills, and make choices that match their values.
Background and approach
David uses a mix of approaches to fit each person. He draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify what matters, cognitive behavioral techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and client-centered listening to make space for honest conversation. These methods are used with concerns like addiction, grief, relationship strain, and parenting stress.
Over nearly two decades he has supported people dealing with family of origin issues, communication problems, anger, and codependency. He also works with people facing burnout or compassion fatigue and with those managing ADHD or bipolar-related challenges. People who come to him for coaching or therapy often want practical tools and steady support while they navigate change.
He aims to help clients build clearer choices, stronger coping, and more satisfying daily routines. Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

04Online support
Using practical approaches in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what truly matters to them and take steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It can be useful for depression, anxiety, life transitions, and coping with trauma-related distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of thinking and behavior; it often helps with anxiety, stress, and mood challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and building a strong therapeutic relationship to support personal growth and decision-making.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the issues you bring, then recommend and try techniques that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit your life. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can work for shorter updates or ongoing support. These options give flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and help people maintain regular contact between sessions when needed.
