About Dennis
Dennis Siefker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 30 years of experience. He works with people facing depression, addiction, anxiety, and relationship struggles. He also addresses codependency and other complex emotional issues in straightforward, steady conversation.
He keeps sessions direct and practical. He listens first, then helps people identify patterns that get in the way. He focuses on building clearer communication, stronger self-regard, and better coping skills. Many clients come for help after a big life change or when old hurts keep resurfacing.
Dennis draws from several approaches to shape each session. He uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in front of him. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and dialectical strategies to manage intense emotions.
He pays attention to relationship patterns and attachment concerns that affect how people relate to others. He helps people work through grief, trauma, and the effects of stress on daily life. Sessions aim to make practical changes that fit each person's life and goals.
People who connect well with his style often want direct feedback and clear tools. He balances empathy with a focus on skills and behavior. If someone is ready to address addiction, intimacy issues, or recurring patterns like codependency, he offers steady support and practical ways forward.
How his approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and encourages self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers simple exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dennis will discuss these methods with the client and choose what fits their goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and can change as progress is made or needs shift.
