About Dennis
Dennis Grau is a Licensed Professional Counselor with seven years of clinical experience. He practices in New Jersey and offers sessions in English and Spanish. Dennis focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, as well as problems like depression, low self-esteem, and addictive behaviors.
He centers work on each person's strengths and life story. Dennis treats clients as the expert on their own lives and helps them build on what already works.
Background and approach
He encourages practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes. In sessions he listens for what is getting in the way of daily functioning and satisfaction. He helps people develop better ways to manage anger, reduce panic symptoms, and handle isolation or impulsive urges.
He also supports those who struggle with social anxiety, communication problems, guilt, or issues around self-love. Dennis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to each person's needs. He collaborates with clients to set clear, achievable goals and adapts the approach as progress unfolds.
That collaborative style aims to make therapy feel relevant and useful from the first meetings. For people juggling busy schedules, he offers flexible formats including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Dennis accepts international clients and works with the realities of modern life to fit care into everyday routines.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Two common evidence-based techniques Dennis uses are practical skills training and structured problem-solving. Skills training teaches concrete tools to manage anxiety, panic symptoms, and anger through breathing, grounding, and step-by-step coping exercises. Structured problem-solving breaks larger issues into manageable steps so people can test changes and build confidence.He also draws on behavioral strategies that focus on gradual exposure and activity planning. These methods help reduce avoidance, ease social anxiety, and increase daily motivation by introducing small, achievable actions over time.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dennis works with clients to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust techniques when something is not working. The plan evolves as progress is made and as life circumstances change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, ongoing support, and written reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or travel schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
