How Denis works
Sessions are direct but supportive, focusing on practical steps that can fit into everyday life. Clients can expect clear goals and tools to manage symptoms between appointments. His approach blends several evidence-based methods.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-driven action and handling painful feelings without getting stuck. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship.
Denis also makes use of techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and existential ideas when they fit a person’s needs. He often works on communication skills, commitment or avoidance struggles, control and dissociation issues, and family of origin patterns. He addresses specialized topics such as HIV/AIDS concerns, hospice and end-of-life matters, immigration stress, fatherhood issues, and forgiveness work.
Sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what suits the person. Denis asks people to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to his availability.

How Denis Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting those experiences dictate their actions. It focuses on identifying values and taking small steps toward a meaningful life even when emotions are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers on a nonjudgmental, listening relationship where the person sets the pace and direction of work.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Denis will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs and then suggest one or more methods to try. He checks in regularly and adjusts the plan if something isn’t working or life circumstances change.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and deeper discussion. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for people who prefer written conversations, want frequent brief check-ins, or need a way to stay connected between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to try different formats as needs change.
