About Dennis
Dennis Siefker is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Colorado with 30 years of experience. He works with people facing depression, addiction, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and a range of emotional struggles. He also addresses issues like anxiety, grief, intimacy problems, and life transitions.
Dennis focuses on concrete problems clients bring into sessions. He talks through communication patterns, coping strategies, and how family of origin dynamics continue to shape present relationships. Sessions emphasize clearer thinking about choices and small, practical steps to change interactions and daily routines.
He draws on a mix of client-centered methods and structured behavioral techniques. That means listening closely to a person’s experience while also practicing new skills in session. Clients can expect a balance of reflective conversation and hands-on tools for stress, sleep, or mood management.
Dennis often works with people navigating attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, blended family strains, and the fallout of chronic stress or caregiving. He also supports those with ADHD, bipolar concerns, or co-occurring conditions by prioritizing manageable strategies that fit everyday life.
Appointments are used to clarify goals, rehearse different ways of communicating, and develop plans to handle setbacks. He encourages straightforward check-ins about progress and adjusts methods as needed. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client's experience. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects what is said, and helps the person clarify values and choices. It is useful for working through family-of-origin patterns and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It uses short exercises and homework to improve mood, sleep, or coping with anxiety. This approach helps when someone wants concrete steps to change reactions and daily routines.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those tools are helpful for managing strong emotions, anger, and relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the client's needs. That collaborative process may combine listening-focused work with skill practice and brief home exercises.
