About Dennis
Dennis Grau is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with seven years of experience. He helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and build self-esteem and confidence. He encourages clients to use their own strengths when facing difficult changes.
Dennis believes taking the first step toward a happier life takes courage. He offers steady support and practical guidance while clients try new ways of handling problems.
How Dennis works
Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable steps rather than big theoretical ideas. In therapy he listens for what matters most to each person and helps them make sense of patterns that cause pain or hold them back. He works on anger and impulsivity in ways that aim to reduce conflict and improve daily functioning.
He also addresses panic attacks, social anxiety, and feelings of isolation with straightforward coping tools. Dennis often helps people sort through guilt, shame, and forgiveness, and he supports those looking for clearer direction or a stronger sense of purpose. He pays attention to communication problems and the strain they create in everyday life.
He also offers care that considers men's issues when relevant to a client's concerns. Sessions are available in English and Spanish, and he accepts international clients. His approach is practical and collaborative, focused on what clients want to change and how to get there step by step.

Evidence-based techniques and online flexibility
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing unhelpful patterns and teaching practical skills. One common approach emphasizes skills for managing anxiety and panic through breathing, exposure to feared situations, and step-by-step practice to reduce avoidance. This helps people who struggle with panic attacks or social fear by giving clear exercises to try between sessions.Another set of techniques targets addictive behaviors and impulsivity by identifying triggers, building alternative coping plans, and strengthening motivation. These methods support people who want to cut down on substance use or change impulsive reactions with concrete strategies and regular check-ins.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss the options, ask about goals and preferences, and adjust methods as work progresses. Clients and the therapist decide together what feels most useful and change the plan when needed.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when a lighter connection or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
