About Joshua

Joshua Dyer is a licensed clinical professional counselor who helps people navigate relationship and family tensions, life transitions, and symptoms of anxiety or depression. He speaks plainly and focuses on each person's strengths. He aims to support people as they work toward the changes they want to make.

Joshua has eight years of professional experience and has been licensed in Maine since 2015. He often works with concerns such as stress, addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and attention-related issues. He also addresses attachment struggles, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, separation and divorce, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.

In sessions Joshua starts by listening and learning what matters most to the person in the room. He uses a client-centered stance that treats the client as the expert on their life and looks for practical steps that fit the person's daily routine. He may draw on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Existential Therapy when those methods fit the goals.

Joshua aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. He focuses on clear skills and moment-to-moment choices as well as on longer term meaning and values. People who prefer a respectful, collaborative style that emphasizes their own strengths often find his way of working easy to follow.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people identify their own goals; online sessions can keep that conversational, person-led tone while the therapist follows your lead. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which often involves short exercises and homework that translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them; those skills can be practiced between sessions and reviewed remotely.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Joshua will work with each person to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The first meetings are used to set priorities and choose techniques that feel useful.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let them practice skills in the real settings where challenges happen. Licensed professionals can use a mix of talking, brief exercises, and between-session work to help clients move toward their goals.
