David Hayden

David Hayden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, addiction issues, and low self-esteem. He talks with clients about motivation, confidence, and day-to-day struggles. He focuses on practical steps that can be used between sessions. He respects each person's background and treats everyone with sensitivity and compassion.

David draws on 18 years of counseling experience to shape treatment around each person's needs. He works on relationship concerns, career challenges, depression, grief, and coping with life changes. Conversations are tailored so clients can set realistic goals and try new skills in small, manageable steps.

Sessions often include goal setting, learning new behavior strategies, and checking what actually helps in everyday life. David emphasizes clear, direct dialogue so people can see progress and adjust plans when needed. He aims to make therapy feel like a cooperative process rather than a lecture.

People who want straightforward guidance on anger, addiction, or stress management will find an emphasis on usable tools and steady support. He also pays attention to issues that show long-term impact, such as trauma and caregiving stress. If someone is ready to take a next step, David helps them build a plan and move forward at their own pace.

Therapeutic methods and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anger, and managing difficult feelings by developing practical habits rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable thought.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, teaches straightforward skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It often involves homework exercises, clear practice tasks, and step-by-step plans that people can apply between meetings to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

The Gottman Method is a set of approaches originally developed for relationship work, emphasizing communication skills and patterns that can be changed through guided practice and feedback.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made and new needs emerge.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy lives, allow simpler check-ins during work breaks, reduce travel time, and make keeping a regular schedule easier. Discuss practical needs with the therapist to match format and frequency to daily life.
