About Dennis
Dennis works from the belief that each person knows their own story best. He focuses on strengths and practical steps that build motivation and confidence. Sessions tend to be collaborative and down-to-earth, with clear goals and small, doable actions to try between meetings.
He draws on several ways of working, including client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques that address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and emotionally-focused ideas for improving closeness and communication. He also uses psychodynamic and solution-focused methods when they fit the situation.
Dennis has worked across many issues tied to family life, career decisions, grief, and coping with stress. Additional focuses include attachment and blended family concerns, commitment and communication problems, substance and domestic violence-related issues, fatherhood and veteran-related matters, and multicultural and prejudice-related challenges.
People who choose him can expect a practical, steady approach that emphasizes their strengths. He offers guidance while helping clients set realistic steps toward better relationships and clearer life direction.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and helping the client feel heard; online sessions using this approach focus on building trust and clarifying what the client wants to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people understand and change negative emotional patterns that affect relationships and closeness.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying one approach first and adjusting over time based on what helps most.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it possible to continue work through transitions or when in-person meetings are difficult to arrange. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, communication practice, and homework to online sessions so clients keep progressing toward their goals.
