David Adames, LPC

David Adames is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 18 years of experience. He uses practical, person-centered care to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and major life changes. He frames clients as the experts in their own stories and works alongside them rather than directing the process.

In sessions he focuses on clear, manageable steps. He helps people notice patterns that cause distress and try small experiments to change them. He also supports those dealing with grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, substance concerns, and career uncertainty. Midlife crisis is one of the life-change themes he addresses when it arises.

David draws on several approaches to tailor work to each person. He integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behavior. Client-centered techniques keep the conversation grounded in the client’s priorities.

He pays attention to complex histories such as trauma, abandonment, codependency, and family-of-origin issues. He also works with people managing mood conditions, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue from caregiving roles. Sessions are conversational and practical, with homework and skills practice when helpful.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules based on the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches useful in online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and commit to small steps that match those values. It can be useful for midlife transitions, low mood, and decision-making struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client’s lead so sessions reflect the person’s priorities and pace.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match your goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs and circumstances evolve, and the therapist will check in about what is or isn’t working.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are available. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make continuity easier during life changes by allowing sessions to continue from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skills practice to an online setting so work between sessions stays practical and useful.
