About Denny
Denny Fahey is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 30 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and difficulties tied to relationships and family. He also supports people coping with trauma, anger, career transitions, bipolar mood challenges, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
He approaches work from a stance that respects each person's own knowledge of their life. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what a client wants to change. Conversations cover practical steps and thought patterns that get in the way of daily functioning and relationships.
Denny uses methods from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and try different behaviors. He also draws on Existential and Solution-Focused ideas to clarify values and set small, concrete goals. Sessions balance talking through situations and practicing new ways of responding.
Clients can expect direct discussion about stressors and addictive behaviors, along with planning for short-term goals. The work often includes examining how feelings like guilt, shame, or loneliness influence choices and relationships. Practical coping skills and brief experiments between sessions are commonly used.
His background spans three decades of practice in Texas. That experience includes work with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and issues linked to military service. People looking for steady, pragmatic support about family and parenting topics may find his approach sensible and grounded.
How sessions work
How his therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. The therapist listens without judging and follows the client's lead to help clarify what matters most and where to start. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of their feelings or to decide on next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to try alternative behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and to address addictive habits with clear techniques and homework between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together they will decide what fits the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative step can change over time as goals evolve.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they fit into busy days, remove travel time, and make it easier to check in between commitments. Others prefer shorter check-ins or sessions timed to fit a work break. The focus is on making therapy practical and usable within everyday life rather than on a particular delivery method.
