About Joshua
Joshua Dyer is a licensed clinical professional counselor who helps people facing relationship strain, anxiety, low mood, and big life changes. He works with individuals who are coping with stress, addiction struggles, parenting strain, and concerns about self-esteem or career direction. Joshua brings a calm, straightforward presence and treats each person as the expert on their own life.
He believes strengths already exist in clients and builds on those strengths during sessions.
How Joshua works
Joshua uses practical techniques from several therapy approaches to address symptoms and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, skill building, and small steps that fit a person’s life. Joshua holds a Maine LCPC license and has eight years of professional experience.
His practice emphasizes listening first, then tailoring tools that match each person’s needs and values. He often blends methods when one approach alone does not fit the situation. Common concerns Joshua supports include trauma and abuse recovery, ADHD-related challenges, attachment issues, communication problems, and caregiver stress.
He also helps people working through divorce or separation, anger and control issues, guilt and shame, and social anxiety. Expect an approach that mixes acceptance, practical behavior strategies, and attention to meaning and values. Joshua aims to make therapy clear and usable, so people leave sessions with something they can try between meetings.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making changes after life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and build new habits that reduce symptoms of anxiety, mood disorders, and stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It often helps people dealing with anger, mood swings, and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joshua will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. He tailors sessions and mixes techniques when a single model does not address the full picture.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and chat or text is helpful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and try approaches that feel most comfortable.
