Remote care and therapeutic methods
Dennis offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences. Remote work is structured to be collaborative: he partners with adults who are facing anxiety, trauma, grief, chronic pain, or life transitions and adapts the pace and tools to each person's needs.
He draws on EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness practices. EMDR, taught to him by Dr. Francine Shapiro, follows a structured process for addressing distressing memories and the emotions tied to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors and learning practical skills to manage symptoms. Mindfulness introduces attention and breathing techniques to increase present-moment awareness and emotional regulation.
Dennis often blends these approaches and considers lifestyle and health factors from his integrative and functional medicine background. Prospective clients can choose video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging when arranging sessions, and he will discuss which combination of methods best fits their goals at the start of treatment.
