More about Dennis
- 20 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW
I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions. Over my career, I've worked with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, and the complex emotions that arise during significant life changes. I specialize in helping people rebuild self-esteem, manage anger, and develop healthier coping strategies.
My approach centers on compassion and practical support. I work with clients to address social anxiety and phobias, while fostering genuine self-love and acceptance. I believe that healing happens when you feel truly heard and understood, and I'm committed to creating that safe, nonjudgmental space for you.
Whether you're facing a major life transition, struggling with self-doubt, or working through longstanding patterns, I'm here to walk alongside you with honesty, warmth, and skill. I'm particularly honored to work with older adults and bring deep respect for the wisdom and resilience that comes with life experience.
Taking the step to seek support takes courage, and I'm genuinely proud of you for reaching out.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
