LCMHC, 8 years of experience
Welcome — I’m John Dyson, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC), based in the foothills of North Carolina. Take a moment to acknowledge that you’ve already taken the first step toward bettering your mental health. Let’s be honest — starting therapy can feel empowering, confusing, or even scary — sometimes all at once. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can explore concerns related to anxiety, depression, and self-care. I focus on helping clients build assertive communication skills and healthy boundaries, both with themselves and with others, in ways that support a more balanced, fulfilling life. Therapy is an opportunity for personal growth in whatever way you're seeking — whether that means navigating specific challenges or building the life you deeply deserve. If that’s what you’re looking for, I’m here when you’re ready. Together, we’ll clarify the challenges you’re facing and identify where you want to be — a month, six months, or a year from now. Then, we’ll explore actionable strategies to help you move forward. You'll leave each session with a clearer understanding of your situation and a set of “next steps” you can begin right away. There will always be space for feedback and collaboration in our work — including holding each other accountable as we walk this path together.
I enjoy working with teens, young adults, and older adults and helping them gain insights to improve their life no matter what stage of life they are in at the time. My clients are motivated and ready for change, but need some tools and strategies to make the change they seek a reality.
I have life experience that I bring to our sessions and am able to help my clients see their situation from a different prospective. During my counseling career, I have developed proven strategies to address triggers and/or causes so as to get to the root of the issues.

I combine evidence based counseling skills and interventions with biblical teachings. During the storms of life, integrating and strengthening ones faith may help you navigate and move through and reach a fulfilled life.
I use my client’s faith to help them find their inner strength to help overcome, navigate, repurpose and reframe their trauma to bring healing in their life.
I use other evidence based counseling practices to fit what the client may need and adjust their treatment plan accordingly.
I teach my clients, and/or their family, about the nature of their mental health, the etiology, progression, treatments and alternatives so as to produce a better mental health outcome.
I use positive psychology principals and practices to help my clients change by constructing goals and solutions rather than focusing on the problems. I want to give my clients the skills for formulating, motivating, achieving, and sustaining desired behavioral change.
