Dennis Forfa, LIMFT, LMFT

Dennis Forfa is a Licensed Independent Marriage and Family Therapist (LIMFT) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 16 years of practice. He works with people who feel stuck by worry, low motivation, creative blocks, loneliness, or the pain of loss. His approach is practical and focused on clear steps clients can try between sessions. In sessions he helps identify the patterns and roadblocks that keep problems repeating. He then works with clients to build strategies that address those patterns. That can mean improving communication, making decisions about work or relationships, or finding ways to move through grief. Clients looking for help with midlife questions, life transitions, or a search for purpose will find concrete tools to explore meaning and direction. Dennis emphasizes practical exercises that encourage action aligned with a person’s values. He also uses mindfulness practices to help calm worry and increase present-moment focus. He supports people who want to strengthen intimacy, reduce shame or isolation, and reconnect with creativity. Work can include role-based exercises for communication and narrative techniques to reframe difficult life stories. Sessions aim to leave people with clearer next steps and more confidence in handling challenges. Dennis offers weekday live sessions by video or phone, with some early morning appointments available. He is licensed to provide therapy while clients are located in Indiana and several other states; confirm current session options before booking.

How remote approaches and therapy methods can help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking action toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can help people who feel stuck, uncertain about life direction, or overwhelmed by worry. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices so clients can notice their experience without getting swept away by it, which often eases anxiety and improves focus. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift. Dennis offers live sessions by video or phone during weekday mornings and afternoons, with some early-start options on select days. Because session formats are listed in the original biography, confirm current session options before booking to make sure they meet your needs. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during a workday break or between errands. Phone sessions can be useful when a shorter check-in is needed or when bandwidth is limited, while video can help preserve visual cues for communication and relationship work.
