About David

David Adames is a licensed professional counselor in Colorado with 18 years of experience. He uses Jungian ideas alongside practical therapies to help people untangle patterns that keep them stuck. David approaches work in a straightforward, respectful way and aims to make the first step less overwhelming.

He listens for the life story behind current symptoms. That means looking at relationship patterns, family history, and repeated reactions to stress. Sessions focus on what is happening now and how past experiences shape present choices.

Background and approach

David encourages clients to name strengths and use them to meet daily challenges. His practice addresses a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and coping with life changes.

He also helps people with addictions, anger, self-esteem, career worries, and parenting strains. Additional focus areas include abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and family of origin issues. David combines Jungian perspectives with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

He adapts methods to the person in front of him rather than following a single formula. The work tends to be collaborative and paced to each client’s needs. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

People connect by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches fit online

Jungian-informed work looks at life patterns and symbolic themes to help people understand repeated reactions and emotional blocks. This approach can clarify where difficult feelings come from and point toward new ways to relate to oneself and others.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills for noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where a person wants clearer direction. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and can explore what matters most to them.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that match their goals, pace, and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust methods over time rather than sticking to a single plan.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people read nonverbal cues and work more deeply. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or text messaging allow for shorter check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while fitting therapy into real life.
