Dennis Forfa

Dennis Forfa is a Licensed Independent Marriage and Family Therapist (LIMFT) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 16 years of clinical experience. He works with adults in Indiana and other listed states on common life disruptions such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem, and career uncertainty. Dennis also focuses on life purpose and midlife questions for people feeling stalled after a change.

He talks plainly about the problems that keep people stuck. Sessions look at patterns that sap motivation, repeat conflicts with others, and the ways shame or isolation deepen worry. Dennis helps identify practical roadblocks and tests small changes in how people think and behave.

The therapist draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness practices to help people notice what matters and act with more intention. He also uses existential and narrative ideas to help clients make sense of loss, identity shifts, and creative blocks. These approaches are used to address issues like intimacy concerns, communication problems, and feelings of guilt.

In meetings he works collaboratively to build steady strategies rather than quick fixes. That may include skills for communication, ways to process grief, and exercises to reconnect with values that guide decision making. The focus is on concrete steps that can be practiced between sessions.

Dennis offers live sessions by phone or video at varied weekday times. Pricing varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, then choose actions that reflect personal values. It can help when anxiety, low motivation, or uncertainty about direction make it hard to move forward. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple attention practices to reduce overthinking and steady attention, which often helps with stress, loneliness, and creative blocks.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether ACT, mindfulness, existential reflection, or narrative practices make the most sense for their goals. That choice can shift over time as needs and preferences become clearer.

The biography states Dennis runs live sessions by video or phone, so check and confirm which formats are offered when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so work and family obligations are simpler to manage. Discuss scheduling preferences and practical needs during the matching process so session plans fit everyday life.
