Joshua Dyer

Joshua Dyer is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Maine who helps people navigate relationship strain, divorce and separation, and major life changes. He works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and parenting challenges. Joshua approaches sessions with the view that people are the experts on their own lives and already hold strengths to build on.

He aims to support clients as they move toward the person they want to become. His work is collaborative and practical. He listens for what matters most and adapts methods to fit each situation rather than following a single rigid plan.

Over eight years of practice inform his flexible style. That time includes helping people with communication problems, attachment issues, caregiver stress, and control struggles. He also addresses guilt, shame, life purpose, and work-related concerns when they come up.

Joshua draws on several therapeutic approaches to match a client's needs. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. He selects tools from these approaches to help with coping skills, emotion regulation, and clearer decision making.

Sessions focus on clear, everyday strategies people can use between meetings. Expect straightforward conversation, goal-setting, and practice of new skills. Joshua encourages people to try small changes and notice what helps, then adjust the plan together.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters most and take small steps toward those values, even when emotions are hard to sit with. It can be useful for coping with life changes, relationship decisions, and anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and teaches practical skills to reduce worry, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust methods over time. Clients can expect regular conversation about what is or isn’t helping so the plan is useful and realistic.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, shorten check-ins, and use tools like guided exercises or worksheets between meetings. It also supports continuity when life changes make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques for remote work so clients can practice skills and track progress between sessions.
