About Dennis

Dennis Siefker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 30 years of experience. He focuses on helping people who face depression, addiction, anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, and the challenges of early adulthood.

Dennis works directly with clients to clarify what feels stuck and what needs to change. Sessions tend to be practical and conversational. He helps people build communication skills, address intimacy concerns, and manage mood or stress so daily life feels more manageable.

He draws on several well-known therapy methods to match the work to each person's needs. That can mean looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing emotion regulation skills, or centering the client's own perspective in sessions. The aim is to pick approaches that fit real problems, not labels.

Dennis has particular experience with issues that often show up in early adulthood - leaving home, new jobs, relationship transitions, and questions about identity and direction. He also works with people facing grief, parenting strain, sleep or eating concerns, and complicated trauma histories.

He describes treatment as collaborative. Clients can expect straightforward discussion about goals, regular check-ins on progress, and concrete tools to use between sessions. To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on hearing the client's own view and building a collaborative plan. It helps people who need a reflective, respectful space to sort priorities and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and habit change by teaching concrete exercises and homework.

Choosing the right method is part of the work. Dennis will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which approaches to try. That decision is made together and can change over time as progress is reviewed.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. They allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and can help people keep continuity of care while juggling school, work, or relocation. Licensed professionals often use these benefits to keep momentum between appointments and to practice skills in everyday settings.
