About Dean
Dean Moyer is a licensed professional counselor with 30 years of experience helping people navigate hard times. He takes an individual approach and works side by side with each person to find practical ways forward. He keeps sessions straightforward and down to earth.
Dean listens for strengths and builds on what is already working. He draws from a mix of approaches so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Background and approach
Common concerns he addresses include anxiety, depression, addictions, mood disorders, grief, trauma and relationship and family problems. He also helps people with parenting challenges, career stress, caregiver strain, and life transitions. Many referrals mention issues such as codependency, divorce and separation, and workplace stress.
In sessions Dean often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques alongside client-centered and mindfulness practices. He also uses motivational interviewing and elements of existential thinking when that helps a person think about meaning and direction. People meet with him to talk through coping skills, change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and practice new ways of relating.
Dean aims for a warm, supportive atmosphere where someone can speak plainly about what feels overwhelming and work toward clearer choices.

How Dean’s approaches translate to online therapy
Dean often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into his work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced through structured exercises and between-session assignments. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and grounding practices that help reduce stress and improve emotional regulation through simple breathing and awareness skills.He treats approach selection as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then try techniques that fit those needs. Over time they adjust the mix of strategies so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let the therapist and client use visual cues and work through exercises together. Phone conversations are useful when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options give flexibility so people can keep continuity of care while fitting therapy into busy lives.
