About Joshua
Joshua Dyer is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maine with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are struggling with relationship stress, family conflict, parenting strain, anger, and life changes. Joshua also helps people facing anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, ADHD, and career-related pressure.
He starts by treating the person, not a label. He respects that people know their own story and builds on existing strengths. In sessions he encourages clear, practical steps and honest conversation about what is getting in the way of goals.
Joshua draws from several evidence-informed approaches. He uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take committed action when feelings feel overwhelming.
When emotion regulation is part of the work he brings in elements from dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for managing intense feelings and improving communication. Client-centered and existential ideas shape how he listens - focusing on what matters to each person and the choices they face.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Joshua will discuss options and try methods that make sense for the issue at hand. For someone tired of losing their temper, he offers tools to notice triggers, change responses, and repair strained relationships.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Joshua commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that move toward those values even when emotions are strong. CBT helps spot unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try different behaviors to reduce stress and improve relationships.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when emotion regulation or intense reactions are a concern. DBT skills teach concrete strategies for managing strong feelings, tolerating distress, and improving communication with others.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Joshua will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences, and he will adjust techniques as needed based on what helps in real life.
