About Dennis
Dennis Siefker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 30 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing addiction, depression, anxiety, grief, and other tough life challenges. He focuses on helping clients find clearer ways to cope and move forward.
Dennis favors a down-to-earth style. He listens first, then helps clients name the problems they want to change. Sessions aim to build practical skills for communication, emotion regulation, and everyday coping. He pays attention to relationship patterns and how they shape daily life.
Mindfulness practices are part of his work, used to help people stay present and reduce reactivity. He also uses client-centered methods to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are offered when patterns of thinking and behavior need direct attention.
Much of his focus is on complicated emotional dynamics like trauma, intimacy-related issues, and codependency. He also supports people with ADHD, bipolar concerns, sleep and eating struggles, and career stress. He addresses both immediate problems and longer-term patterns that keep people stuck.
Dennis aims for straightforward, practical steps in session. He helps clients set goals, try new skills between visits, and track what makes a real difference. Language in sessions is plain and direct, with an emphasis on rebuilding daily routines and healthier relationships.
Approaches that guide online work and goals
Mindfulness Therapy helps clients notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. It often focuses on breathing, grounding, and short practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress or anxiety.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can speak freely. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to uncover what matters most in daily life and relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses clear exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits for mood, sleep, or behavior concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That may mean trying mindfulness practices one week and CBT tools the next, then adjusting as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family responsibilities, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick adjustment is needed. Discuss scheduling needs and session length when arranging the first appointment so the format matches everyday life.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
