About Dennis
Dennis Grau is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with seven years of clinical work. He helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He works in both English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Dennis focuses on practical ways to manage strong emotions and build clearer habits. He treats anger as one of several linked concerns, alongside impulsivity, guilt and shame, and communication problems. Sessions are straightforward and aim to identify small, doable steps a person can use between meetings.
He encourages clients to name their strengths and to use those strengths to handle upsetting situations. Conversations cover what happens in real life - at work, at home, or in relationships - and what the client wants to change. He frames setbacks as learning moments rather than failures.
Over time Dennis helps people reduce reactive patterns and increase control over impulses. He also helps with social anxiety, panic attacks, isolation, and finding greater purpose. The work includes practicing skills, reviewing what worked, and adjusting plans as needed.
Clients who prefer communication in Spanish can work with him in that language. The first steps are practical: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set goals and decide a plan. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and how online work can help
Many clinicians use evidence-based techniques to address anger and related concerns. Cognitive approaches look at the thoughts that trigger strong feelings and teach ways to reframe or question those thoughts. This helps when anger comes from assumptions, rumination, or negative self-talk.Behavioral skill-building focuses on practical tools. That includes learning breathing and grounding skills, practice exercises to reduce impulsive reactions, and role-play to improve communication. These tools are useful for stress, panic attacks, and impulsivity as well as anger.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. Sessions typically begin by setting concrete goals and trying a few approaches to see what helps most.
Confirm the therapist's current online session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the original profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer video for face-to-face interaction while others choose audio for a quicker conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt sessions to practical constraints and help clients try approaches that fit their routine.
