Dennis Siefker, LPC

Dennis Siefker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 30 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing depression, addiction, anxiety, trauma, and difficult relationship patterns. Dennis aims to create a calm space where people can talk honestly about stress, grief, and life changes.

He uses straightforward conversation to help people understand how their thoughts and everyday habits affect mood and behavior. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit daily life, like managing strong emotions, improving sleep, and addressing substance use. He often helps people improve communication and rebuild trust after painful events.

Dennis blends several well-known approaches to match each person’s needs. He draws on client-centered methods to keep the work focused on the person's experience. He uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and try new patterns. Dialectical skills come in for managing intense feelings and improving emotion regulation.

His work also incorporates insight from emotionally-focused and existential perspectives when people want to examine deeper relationship patterns or life purpose. The therapist encourages collaborative planning so goals are realistic and measurable. Progress often includes small, steady changes rather than quick fixes.

People seeking help for parenting strain, self-esteem issues, ADHD-related challenges, or career stress will find a practical tone and direct feedback. Dennis values clear communication and helps people build skills they can use between sessions.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. It helps people feel understood and shape goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, which is useful when emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dennis will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new issues come up.

Confirm the specific session options available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to practice skills in everyday settings. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or audio-only conversations when bandwidth is limited. Talk with the therapist during the match process to find session lengths and formats that suit your routine.
