About Joshua
Joshua Dyer offers calm, practical support for people facing relationship strain, stress, anxiety, or major life changes. He speaks plainly and helps clients focus on the next doable steps. Joshua holds an ME LCPC and brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions.
He starts by listening to each person's story and identifying strengths they already have. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, realistic changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
Joshua uses conversational language so people can talk without jargon. Joshua draws from several well-established approaches to match what a client needs. He blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive work to address unhelpful thoughts and to build valued actions.
Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are used when managing strong emotions or stress. Many clients come for help with parenting stress, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, or career and life-purpose questions. Joshua also supports people dealing with anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, depression, and social anxiety.
He pays attention to attachment and communication patterns that affect daily life. Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Joshua helps people try different strategies and adjusts the plan based on what works.
The aim is steady, practical progress toward clearer priorities and better day-to-day coping.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Joshua uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take small actions that match those values. ACT focuses on reducing struggle with painful thoughts and moving toward meaningful life steps. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and to build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their situation and goals. That choice can change over time, and he adjusts the approach based on what helps most in practice.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make the work more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when a quick adjustment to a plan is needed. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
