David Adames , LPC

David Adames is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 18 years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, process trauma and abuse, work through depression, and navigate significant life transitions. David approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to face and overcome challenging circumstances.

He recognizes that deciding to seek a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, and he aims to offer steady support throughout that process. Drawing on years of practice, David helps clients identify practical steps and build on what already works for them, while providing a thoughtful, respectful therapeutic presence to guide change and healing.

As a clinician, he emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, meeting people where they are and working alongside them to clarify goals, develop coping strategies, and pursue meaningful progress over time.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

David Adames integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into his work. ACT helps people clarify their values and commit to meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, supporting clients as the experts of their own experience and helping build self-awareness and confidence. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, which can be effective for depression, anxiety, and coping challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and David will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He aims to tailor interventions and adjust strategies as progress unfolds so clients feel involved and supported.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules, geographic constraints, and different communication preferences. These formats allow David to provide consistent care and skill-building from a distance while adapting to the practical needs of each individual.
