About Joshua
Joshua Dyer is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) who focuses on practical support for parents and people facing relationship and family stress. He centers sessions on what matters to each person and helps them use their strengths to manage anxiety, anger, grief, or big life changes. He takes a straightforward, collaborative style in sessions.
Joshua listens first, then helps people set small, clear goals they can try between sessions.
Background and approach
He uses approaches that fit the person rather than one fixed method, so conversations can include learning new coping skills, changing unhelpful thinking, or practicing different ways to talk about problems. Joshua has eight years of professional experience and has worked with concerns like depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and caregiver stress.
He also supports people dealing with attachment issues, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and questions of life purpose and self esteem. Sessions are offered in English and provided remotely through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Joshua explains options and helps people choose a format that fits their schedule, comfort level, and daily demands.
People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. Joshua aims for simple, usable strategies that fit real life and the demands of parenting and work.

Approaches that translate to online parenting support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what truly matters to them and take small actions toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It can be useful for parents juggling stress, guilt, or big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT can help with anger, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the person's lead and helps them find their own solutions; this approach supports self esteem and clearer communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Joshua will talk about options, try different methods, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. The client and therapist decide collaboratively which tools and strategies to use, with attention to the person's goals and day-to-day realities.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can fit a busy day or lower bandwidth needs. Live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, and flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit sessions into parenting routines, work breaks, or other time constraints while keeping focus on practical steps people can use between meetings.
