About Dennis
Dennis Siefker is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with 30 years of clinical experience. He helps people dealing with depression, addiction, relationship problems, trauma, anxiety, grief, and other life changes. He often works with concerns linked to intimacy, sleep and eating issues, parenting strain, and workplace or career stress.
In sessions he uses clear, structured techniques alongside conversational work. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behavior. He also uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most to each person.
Dennis incorporates skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. He uses emotionally-focused ideas when relationship patterns and attachment issues come up. He adapts his methods to the problem rather than following a single script.
Clients can expect practical strategies they can try between meetings. Conversations include noticing thinking patterns, practicing different responses, and learning small skills for day-to-day life. Progress is reviewed regularly and approaches are adjusted as goals change.
Over three decades he has worked with a wide range of issues including ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, codependency, abandonment and various personality-related difficulties. He also addresses complex cases that involve co-occurring problems or the effects of trauma and loss.
How his approaches translate to online work
Clients can expect Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT sessions often include concrete exercises and homework to practice skills between meetings, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding. The therapist reflects concerns back and helps clients clarify what matters to them, which supports decision making and emotional processing.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dennis will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs and will adapt methods collaboratively. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and shifting focus when a different method seems more useful.
