His background includes training in trauma-related methods and a longer history of work with chronic pain, illness, and disability alongside emotional concerns. That experience informs his approach when physical health and mood interact. He also has experience addressing substance use, domestic violence, guilt and shame, and mood and panic-related problems.

He may use cognitive-behavioral ideas, mindfulness skills, and trauma-informed strategies to help people manage symptoms and build practical skills. The therapist helps people practice techniques and review what is useful between visits.
People who choose Dennis are often looking for steady clinical experience and a clinician who connects emotional concerns with physical health and daily routines. To start, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Many of the techniques Dennis draws on are described in straightforward ways. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and they teach specific skills for anxiety and mood management. Mindfulness-based methods help people practice attention and grounding exercises to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping. Trauma-informed strategies pay attention to how past stress affects current reactions and emphasize pacing and stabilization before moving into deeper work.Choosing the right combination of these approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to set goals, try methods in sessions, and adjust plans based on what helps and what feels manageable. That collaboration includes reviewing how techniques fit daily life and health circumstances.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets clients practice skills in their usual routines and then discuss what worked during the next appointment.
