About David
David Adames is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 18 years of clinical experience. He helps people address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. He works in both English and Spanish and supports people who are dealing with relationship and family issues, parenting concerns, addiction, or career stress.
He uses practical, skill-based work drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other approaches to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can try between meetings. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods to help people clarify values and build day-to-day routines that fit their goals.
David has spent nearly two decades helping people manage strong emotions and difficult events. He pays attention to patterns such as avoidance, control issues, codependency, and dissociation. He also works with concerns like compassion fatigue, grief, and fatherhood issues in straightforward, task-focused ways.
In sessions he aims to outline doable strategies, practice new responses, and review progress together. Clients can expect a mix of conversation, behavioral experiments, and simple exercises to try between sessions. His approach is direct and practical, oriented toward solving immediate problems while building longer-term skills.

How he applies approaches to online sessions
David commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns in thinking and behavior, test small changes, and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT sessions tend to focus on concrete steps and homework that can fit into daily life.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values even when uncomfortable feelings remain. Client-centered work means the conversation emphasizes the person’s own goals and pacing rather than a fixed agenda.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss different methods and make decisions together based on a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps choose whether to prioritize skill practice, values-based action, or exploratory conversation.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, allow for brief check-ins during the workday, or avoid needing to be on camera when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are preferable. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to remote sessions so the work stays practical and focused.
