Dennis Forfa, LIMFT, LMFT

Dennis Forfa offers pragmatic, collaborative therapy aimed at helping people gain traction when life feels stuck. He works with clients who are facing creative stagnation, persistent worry, self-doubt, low motivation, loneliness, homesickness, or the pain of loss, and supports those who find themselves repeating familiar struggles with themselves or others.

In sessions, he partners with each person to identify the roadblocks that keep them from moving forward and to design sustainable strategies for overcoming those obstacles. His work focuses on helping clients navigate transitions with greater clarity and intention, strengthen relationships and communication, process grief and come to terms with losses, and build resilience and mental toughness for facing challenges. He also supports creative problem-solving, deeper engagement with artistic work, and living in alignment with core values so clients can show up with purpose and integrity.

Together with clients, he aims to unlock potential for a more complete, dynamic, and meaningful life. He is based in Indiana and is available for live sessions by video or phone on weekday mornings through afternoons, sometimes offering early morning appointments as early as 5:00 AM Pacific / 6:00 AM Mountain / 7:00 AM Central / 8:00 AM Eastern. He is licensed to provide therapy when clients are physically located in California, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, or Maine.

Dennis holds the credentials LIMFT and LMFT, designations that indicate licensure as a marriage and family therapist and authority to practice in applicable jurisdictions.

Therapeutic approaches for online growth and meaning

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and build practical habits that support those values. It combines acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings with committed action, making it useful for issues like anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions.

Existential Therapy explores questions of meaning, purpose, and personal responsibility. This approach invites clients to examine how they want to live, how they relate to others, and how to face uncertainty or midlife concerns with greater authenticity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dennis collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. Working remotely makes it easier to attend regular sessions from home, during a break at work, or while traveling, and supports consistent progress without added logistical strain.
