About Dennis
LMFT and LIMFT Dennis Forfa has 16 years of clinical experience and works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Existential Therapy, Mindfulness, and Narrative approaches to help people who feel stuck and want clearer direction. Sessions are practical and goal-focused, with an emphasis on skills people can use between meetings.
Dennis frames therapy as a collaborative process. He helps identify recurring roadblocks and then builds strategies to move past them. That can mean improving communication, working through guilt and shame, or finding new ways to approach career and creative blocks.
Expect concrete tools as well as conversations about values and purpose. He works with people to process grief and to manage intimacy-related issues without assuming a single solution for every situation. Mindfulness techniques and narrative work are used to shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior.
Dennis also addresses practical life transitions and midlife concerns. He helps people clarify their priorities and take small, sustainable actions toward goals. He emphasizes building resilience and maintaining momentum after sessions end.
He conducts live sessions by video or phone during weekday mornings and afternoons. Before booking, confirm current session options and times for your location.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them. Online sessions can include exercises to notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based steps that fit daily life. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These practices can be guided in a live session and practiced between meetings to manage anxiety and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dennis will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. He adjusts the mix of ACT, mindfulness, existential questions, or narrative work based on what is most useful in sessions and in real life.
Session options are described in his biography as live video or phone meetings. If you need a specific format, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a weekday routine, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time so people can focus on the work itself.
