Dennis Forfa helps people who feel stuck regain momentum and purpose in their lives. He works with individuals facing creative stagnation, worry, self-doubt, low motivation, loneliness, homesickness, and the pain of loss, guiding them toward practical change and renewed engagement.

Dennis assists clients in navigating life transitions, strengthening relationships, improving communication, processing grief, and cultivating resilience. He also supports creative problem-solving and helps clients align everyday choices with their core values so they can show up with greater integrity and intention. His approach aims to unlock potential for a more complete, fulfilling, and purposeful life.

Dennis holds LIMFT and LMFT credentials - licenses for marriage and family therapy - and he is licensed to provide therapy when clients are physically located in California, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, or Maine. He offers live sessions by video or phone on weekday mornings through afternoons, with some early morning availability depending on the day.

Throughout his work he focuses on practical tools and insight that help clients face challenges with determination, deepen meaningful connections, and move forward with greater confidence and creativity.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. It is useful for anxiety, stress, motivation challenges, and situations where values-driven action matters. Existential Therapy explores meaning, choice, and responsibility, supporting people who are wrestling with life purpose, midlife questions, loneliness, or big transitions by examining how they want to live and what gives their life significance. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and gentle attention to experience, which can reduce reactivity to stress, improve emotional regulation, and support coping with grief or chronic worry.

Dennis approaches selection of therapies as a collaborative process. He works with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts interventions over time so the work stays relevant and practical. This partnership helps clients find approaches that feel useful and sustainable.

Online therapy with Dennis is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, continue work during transitions, and connect from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who focus on meaningful progress.
