About Dennis
Dennis Forfa is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 16 years of experience helping people when they feel stuck. He combines practical problem solving with reflective work to help clients move forward. His approach aims to reduce worry and increase motivation so daily life feels more manageable.
Dennis often focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, and self-esteem. He also helps with career concerns, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes. He listens for patterns that keep someone repeating the same unhelpful behaviors and then works with them to try different choices.
In sessions he guides clients to identify roadblocks and to build lasting strategies for change. That can include improving communication, processing loss, or clarifying life purpose. He encourages creative problem solving and practices that strengthen resilience and follow-through.
Dennis uses approaches that include mindfulness practices, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, existential conversations about meaning, and narrative work to reframe personal stories. These methods are woven into practical steps clients can use between sessions. The goal is to help people act on their values and feel more intentional in everyday life.
He offers live appointments during morning and afternoon hours on weekdays. Before booking, clients should confirm scheduling details and session options to match their needs.
How these approaches fit online care
Mindfulness practice encourages paying attention to the present moment in a gentle way and can help lower reactivity to stress and anxiety. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions toward those values, which is useful for motivation, stuckness, and life transitions. Existential therapy involves talking through questions of meaning, responsibility, and purpose to help people re-evaluate their choices and direction.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dennis will collaborate with each person to see which methods match their goals and preferences. Together they will try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most in daily life.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time so therapy is easier to keep up. Because specific session formats are not fully listed here, confirm current options before booking. The focus is on making therapy fit into everyday routines and on using approaches that support steady, actionable progress.
