About Dennis
Dennis Siefker is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 30 years of experience. He focuses on helping people navigate tough emotional moments like depression, addiction, grief, and sleep struggles. He aims to create a straightforward, respectful space where people can talk about what matters most to them.
Over his career he has worked with a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, anxiety and stress, and parenting challenges. He also addresses areas such as ADHD, bipolar concerns, body image, and career-related stress. His practice pays attention to complex emotional patterns that often show up across different problems.
Dennis uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. He draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person’s experience. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and DBT skills for managing intense emotions.
He also brings elements of emotionally-focused work to help with relationship patterns and existential ideas when people raise questions about meaning and life direction. Sessions aim to be collaborative - the client’s goals guide what is tried and adjusted over time.
People who reach out can expect practical tools paired with time to reflect and make steady changes. He supports those coping with life transitions, compassion fatigue, grief, and ongoing mood concerns, and he can work with sleep-related struggles as part of a broader plan.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities, giving space for people to set their own goals and lead the pace of work. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive, listening environment to sort through feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions influence feelings. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems, depression, and patterns that keep problems going.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, brings practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day coping. It can be useful for stress, anger, relationship conflict, and situations where emotion regulation feels overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to choose and adjust strategies that match goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking outcomes and trying different techniques when needed.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote work helpful for keeping therapy consistent while juggling work, family, or medical appointments.
