Dennis Siefker, LPC

Dennis Siefker is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 30 years of clinical experience. He helps people facing depression, addiction, trauma, and relationship strains. He aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for everyday life.

He focuses on what a person is dealing with now and what they want to change. Sessions tend to center on clear goals like reducing anxiety, improving communication, or managing mood swings. He pays attention to patterns that repeat across relationships and work life, and looks for small, practical steps people can use right away.

Dennis brings a calm, compassionate style to sessions. He listens closely and helps clients name feelings and reactions. He also teaches skills for coping with stress, anger, and grief so daily life feels more manageable.

People who appreciate direct, collaborative work often find his approach helpful. He works with adults on issues such as parenting challenges, career stress, intimacy concerns, and navigating life changes. He also addresses co-occurring issues like ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.

In the therapy room he mixes talk and practical exercises. Treatment plans are shaped by each person’s history and goals, and adjusted as progress is made. To start, clients are asked about what matters most to them and what they hope to get from counseling.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective. It creates space for people to speak freely and name what matters most, which can help with depression, self-esteem, and relationship questions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and address eating and sleeping problems.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal skills. It can be useful for intense emotions, anger, and coping with crises in daily life.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that match goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps shape the topics covered and the skills practiced session by session.

If you are considering online work, confirm current session options before booking. Different setups fit different needs - for example shorter check-ins can fit a work break, phone calls use less bandwidth, and video lets the therapist and client see nonverbal cues. Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life without claiming a particular outcome.
