About Denny

Denny Fahey is a Licensed Professional Counselor with three decades of practice in Texas. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. He works from a strengths-based view and treats each person as the expert on their own life.

Seeking help is acknowledged as a brave step toward a more satisfying life, and he offers steady support along the way. He focuses on practical, achievable steps that fit daily life.

Background and approach

Conversations are straightforward and grounded. Techniques come from approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered work, but Denny adapts methods to each person’s pace and needs. His background includes long experience with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, and substance-related problems.

He also addresses issues such as relationship strain, self-esteem, career stress, and midlife concerns. Military-related topics and veteran issues are among the areas he has worked with over the years. Sessions emphasize clear goals and actionable tools.

He encourages clients to notice small changes and build on them. Over time the work aims to reduce distress and increase the sense of control in everyday life. Denny holds the LPC credential, Texas LPC 11370, and offers services in English.

He uses a collaborative style that invites questions and feedback so people can shape the work to their values and priorities.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

This therapist draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person so they can find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Denny will work together with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That collaborative step helps shape a plan that feels manageable and relevant to daily life.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options let people fit sessions around work, family, or other commitments and allow follow-up or check-ins in ways that suit a busy schedule. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and tools to work well in these formats so the focus stays on practical progress and steady support.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
