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 changes. He also helps people dealing with burnout, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strains, and career questions.

He approaches therapy as a collaborative process that respects a person's own sense of what matters. He uses practical techniques alongside conversations that examine values and choices. Sessions combine thinking about patterns with steps to try differently between meetings.

David draws on several established methods, including acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive-behavioral tools, dialectical skills, client-centered listening, and existential questions about meaning. That mix lets him shift between problem-solving, emotion regulation skills, and deeper exploration of purpose. He will discuss which approach fits each person's needs.

He works in both English and Spanish. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.

To begin, a person selects the See online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a first session. David emphasizes steady, practical steps rather than quick fixes when someone is feeling stuck or unsure what comes next.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions that align with those values. It can help when someone feels stuck after a life change and wants to find what matters now. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses concrete strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and practical coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what techniques match a person's needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt as those needs change. That collaborative process helps the client test different tools and keep what proves helpful.

The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Practically, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a weekday or work break, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals working online commonly combine talk-based work with skill practice and between-session steps, which can support steady progress when sorting out life purpose and direction.
