About Dean

Dean Moyer is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with three decades of experience helping people navigate hard moments. He offers an individualized, practical approach and draws on methods that fit each person’s situation. He aims to be warm and straightforward so people feel comfortable talking about what matters.

Many clients have found his style supportive and easy to connect with. He commonly helps with anxiety, depression, addictions, mood disorders, trauma and family or relationship concerns.

Background and approach

Parenting and family matters are part of his focus, and he also addresses work stress, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, and life transitions. His approach is collaborative and strengths-based, meaning he works with clients to find realistic steps forward. Therapy with him often blends familiar methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with motivational techniques and mindfulness.

He adapts tools to what an individual needs, avoiding one-size-fits-all plans. Sessions emphasize practical skills, clearer thinking, and building on what already works in daily life. Across 30 years he has worked with people from varied backgrounds and perspectives.

He believes resilience grows when people learn from their experiences and accept what they’ve been through. That outlook informs how he supports people facing major stressors or painful changes. Dean practices in Pennsylvania as an LPC (PA LPC PC003418) and conducts sessions in English.

He brings steady experience and a pragmatic, client-centered way of working.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgment, helping clients clarify values and make decisions that fit their life. It’s useful for people who want a supportive, non-directive space to sort through challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches simple skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress or mood shifts.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling difficult interpersonal moments. It can be helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone needs concrete tools to steady their day-to-day life.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. He will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan over time based on what helps. This means therapy can shift as situations change.

Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to connect from home, keep continuity during busy periods, and try brief check-ins or longer conversations depending on what’s needed.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
