About Dennis
Dennis Forfa is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 16 years of experience. He helps people who feel stuck by turning worry and self-doubt into clear steps forward. His style is straightforward and practical, aimed at getting traction on day-to-day problems.
Dennis focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem, and life changes. He also addresses intimacy-related struggles and career questions. Conversations in sessions are direct and solution-oriented, with space for reflection and meaning.
Background and approach
In early meetings he helps people pinpoint the recurring roadblocks that sap energy and motivation. Then he works with each person to build lasting strategies to move past those obstacles. That can mean improving communication, sorting out guilt and shame, or finding ways to reconnect with others.
He supports clients processing loss and navigating midlife questions or life-purpose concerns. He uses mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people make sense of their stories and act on what matters to them. Sessions emphasize practical steps that fit into everyday life.
Dennis offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People typically start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions that fit their routine. He practices from Indiana and conducts work in English.
Therapeutic approaches for online work and daily life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, feeling stuck, and making meaningful changes. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It can help with stress, worry, and moments of overwhelm. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dennis will work collaboratively to figure out which methods match a person's goals and preferences. That collaboration means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people work face-to-face when schedules allow. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and get brief support without waiting for an appointment. These options add flexibility and make regular work on anxiety and life changes more practical.Questions people ask
