Stephen Dexter

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am licensed clinical professional counselor in the state of Maine. I worked for 3 years as an in-home counselor for families with children struggling with behavioral and emotional problems ages 6-16. I have more then 8 years of experience in the field and I have specialized in intensive substance use and co-occurring disorders. I am grateful to be in recovery myself and I truly enjoy sharing hope with those in their darkest hours. Addictive thinking can be traced to uncover the most life changing opportunities when someone is open for help. I have experience with couples, one on one, in-home, and group counseling. I have helped many people with a variety of challenging issues ranging from depression, anxiety, and stress, to substance use, sexual addiction, and loss of purpose. I am a Christian who believes that God truly is love and I encourage all of my clients to develop their spirituality in the pursuit of health and happiness.

So many people are completely overwhelmed with life’s circumstances that they cannot tell what the problem really is or how to face it and overcome it. I am here to help you along that journey and share what guidance and insight I possess.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and adjusting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person care. A major benefit is flexibility – clients can choose the format that best fits their life, whether that is video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to attend sessions consistently and to integrate therapy into a busy schedule. All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be better. For many people, remote therapy provides an accessible, practical way to receive professional support and make meaningful progress on mental health and relationship goals.
