Background and approach

Conversations are open and honest - no topic is off limits. He expects active effort and frank discussion as part of change. Denis uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches.

He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take action. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. He also brings elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation when needed.

Clients can expect a collaborative plan focused on realistic goals. Denis pays attention to family of origin issues, fatherhood and parenting struggles, and communication or commitment problems. He also addresses immigration, HIV/AIDS, hospice and end-of-life concerns when relevant.

With three years of clinical experience, Denis practices in New York and offers sessions in English. He accepts international clients and works via multiple online formats to fit different schedules.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on recognizing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, relationship conflict, and emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress is made, and clients are invited to give feedback about what is or is not helping.

Online therapy with Denis is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or travel. Remote formats allow steady contact and flexible scheduling while letting people use the kinds of interaction that feel most comfortable to them.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
