About Dennis

Dennis Forfa is a licensed marriage and family therapist who brings 16 years of experience to his work. He focuses on helping people who feel stuck or overwhelmed by worry, creative blocks, or life changes. Dennis speaks plainly and aims to help clients move from feeling stalled to making steady progress.

He uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness approaches to build practical skills for handling worry and stress.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and geared toward real-world change. Dennis helps people figure out what keeps them from acting on their values. He works on improving communication, reducing isolation, and addressing shame or guilt that gets in the way.

Many clients come for help with grief, intimacy-related concerns, career questions, or a midlife reassessment. In sessions he focuses on clear strategies that can be practiced between meetings. That might include short mindfulness exercises, values-based actions, or rewriting unhelpful narratives about oneself.

The goal is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes. He offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging sessions to fit different schedules. Dennis is licensed in Indiana as well as several other states, and he conducts sessions in English.

Online session options

How Narrative and ACT translate to online sessions

Online sessions with Dennis often draw on Narrative Therapy to help people notice the stories they tell about themselves and choose different ways to describe their life. That approach helps when people feel stuck by recurring patterns or limiting beliefs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is also used to clarify what matters most and to build small actions that align with those values. ACT is useful for worry, low motivation, and big life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a joint effort. Dennis will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they choose techniques and habits to try, then adjust those choices based on what helps in everyday life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick way to check in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy schedule while keeping the focus on steady practical progress.
