About David
David Adames is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 18 years of clinical experience. He emphasizes a respectful, person-centered way of working and encourages people to build on their own strengths. He speaks English and Spanish and aims to make beginning therapy a straightforward step for someone feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
David often uses approaches that help people process difficult experiences and change unhelpful patterns. He works with anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life transitions.
Background and approach
He also supports those dealing with addiction, compassion fatigue, relationship and family struggles, grief, parenting concerns, anger, and self-esteem challenges. His practice includes a focus on areas such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, control issues, dissociation, and family of origin concerns. He also addresses issues connected to divorce and separation, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, and fatherhood.
He helps people who face the long-term effects of trauma or feel empty and disconnected. David combines practical strategies and open conversation. He uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy to match each person’s needs.
He integrates EMDR as one tool when processing traumatic memories and reactions. He aims to be a steady presence while people try new ways of coping. Starting therapy, he says, takes courage, and the work focuses on small, manageable steps toward greater functioning and meaning.

Approaches for Online Work and Practical Coping
David blends approaches that translate well to online work and focus on practical change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and take small committed actions toward a meaningful life. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing alternatives through real-life exercises, which is helpful for stress, mood, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy creates a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own goals guide the work and feelings are explored at a comfortable pace.Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and symptoms, and then shape sessions to fit those needs. That process may include trying different techniques and adjusting focus as new challenges or progress emerge.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be better when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing contact between sessions or work for people who prefer typing. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not convenient.
