Approach and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where motivation and direction feel unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is often applied to anxiety, mood concerns, sleep issues, and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and respect so the client can lead the pace of change; it supports people who need a steady, understanding therapeutic relationship.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Dennis collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and everyday life. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so strategies feel usable and aligned with what the client wants to achieve.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets the therapist and client see each other's expressions for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier to fit into a work break or when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and flexible ways to touch base between longer visits. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing parenting, work, and other responsibilities.
