About Dennis
Dennis Siefker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 30 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing depression, addiction, trauma, relationship strain, anxiety, parenting stress, and related concerns. Dennis also addresses intimacy issues, grief, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and the emotional fallout of life changes.
He keeps sessions focused and direct. People can expect clear conversations about patterns of behavior and feelings. He helps people tighten communication, manage strong emotions, and make practical changes day to day.
Dennis draws from several approaches when working with someone. He uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the individual. He applies cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.
His practice pays attention to challenging attachment patterns and difficult family dynamics. He works with issues such as abandonment, blended family strain, codependency, and communication problems. He also supports people coping with medical concerns, cancer, and co-occurring conditions.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. New clients are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and priorities. It involves listening closely, reflecting what matters most, and shaping sessions around the client's concerns. This approach helps when someone needs to clarify values and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. It uses straightforward exercises and skill practice to reduce anxiety, shift low mood, and change problematic habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance when feelings overwhelm daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dennis will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed over the first sessions and adjusted as needs change.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow practice of new skills in everyday settings. Ask during the matching step which session formats are available and what will work best for your routine.
