About Dennis
Dennis Forfa is a Licensed Independent Marriage and Family Therapist (LIMFT) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 16 years of clinical experience. He practices in Indiana and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem concerns, life changes, intimacy-related issues, and career questions. He also addresses communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, life purpose, and midlife concerns.
Dennis focuses on practical, steady steps rather than quick fixes. In sessions he helps people identify what keeps them stuck and then build repeatable strategies for moving forward. He talks through concrete ways to handle worry, creative blocks, or motivation problems. He also works with grief and loss in ways that let people process what happened and find a workable path ahead.
His style draws on several evidence-informed approaches. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and guide action. Mindfulness techniques help with present-moment awareness and reducing reactivity. Narrative therapy supports reworking stories people tell about themselves. Existential ideas come into play when people are questioning purpose or meaning.
Sessions are structured around goals you set together. He helps improve communication skills, rebuild intimate connection, and strengthen problem-solving. For career or creative stagnation he focuses on practical shifts that encourage momentum. For guilt and shame he attends to the feelings and the behaviors that maintain them.
Dennis offers live sessions by video or phone, with weekday morning through afternoon hours. He is licensed to provide therapy while clients are located in specified U.S. states. Before booking, confirm which session formats are currently offered.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking committed steps toward those things, even when difficult emotions are present. It can help with anxiety, chronic worry, and behaviors that keep you stuck. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to the present moment and reduces reactivity, which often eases rumination and harsh self-judgment. Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and re-author those narratives to open up new choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dennis will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. He mixes ideas from different approaches as needed and adjusts plans based on how things are going in sessions.
His profile lists live sessions by video or phone, and his hours include mornings through afternoons on weekdays. If you prefer a particular way of meeting, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, reduce travel, or allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. Licensed professionals can still use these approaches effectively at a distance, and the focus stays on practical steps you can use between sessions.
