Dennis Siefker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 30 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people who are facing depression, addiction, trauma, relationship struggles, and self esteem concerns. His work centers on practical support and steady guidance during difficult life moments.
Dennis uses a straightforward, compassionate style. He listens first, then helps people set clear goals. Sessions often include learning new coping skills, improving communication, and sorting through painful memories in manageable steps.
He pays special attention to challenges that commonly affect men and young adults, and to situations with complex emotional dynamics. He helps people build stronger self-regard and better ways to handle stress and conflict. Progress is approached one step at a time rather than all at once.
Dennis draws on several therapy methods to match what each person needs. He blends client-centered work with practical skill-building tools and emotion-focused exercises. This lets him shape the work around real-life problems like sleep and eating struggles, parenting strain, or job changes.
People who prefer clear, goal-focused sessions tend to fit his approach well. He aims to create a steady setting where people can try out new behaviors, practice communication, and heal from past wounds. To start, a brief intake helps identify the best focus for ongoing work.
Approaches that guide online work and goals
Client-centered therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The therapist follows the client's concerns, reflects what they say, and helps them make choices that feel right. This approach works well for people who want a respectful, nonjudgmental setting to figure things out.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses clear exercises and practice between sessions to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems. CBT is useful for people who want practical steps and measurable progress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and stronger interpersonal skills. It can help with intense emotions, anger, and patterns that interfere with relationships or daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the approach based on what helps. This is a collaborative process where the client's needs and preferences guide decisions.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or avoid needing to be on camera. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements so sessions match daily routines and goals.
