David Adames, LPC

David Adames is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 18 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are carrying stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and the fallout of major life changes. He also addresses concerns such as addiction, parenting strain, grief, and relationship problems in individual sessions.

He approaches therapy from the view that each person knows their story best. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear listening. David draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to help people notice patterns and try different responses.

In practice he helps people who struggle with people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, codependent dynamics, abandonment fears, and problems with control or avoidance. He offers direct tools for stress and mood management, along with ways to handle relationship conflict and the effects of past abuse.

When working together he emphasizes small, manageable steps. Therapy can include learning emotion regulation skills, testing unhelpful thoughts, and clarifying values to guide decisions. Sessions aim to make daily life feel more livable rather than promise quick fixes.

He speaks English and Spanish and uses a straightforward, conversational style. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the online process.
