Luwana Dyer , LCPC

Luwana Dyer is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Maine who brings 12 years of experience to her work. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also provides support around trauma, grief, and relationship and intimacy concerns. Her practice includes attention to issues affecting women and people in the LGBT community.

She has worked in private practice and in school and Head Start programs. She has also collaborated with the state and court systems at times. Those settings shaped a practical approach that values clear goals and steady progress.

In sessions she focuses on concrete steps people can take to feel steadier and more hopeful. Conversations often center on coping skills, problem solving, and choosing small changes that add up. She also addresses self-esteem, career concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and caregiving stress.

Luwana’s background includes helping people navigate adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, chronic illness and pain, and the effects of loss. She brings experience with anger, codependency, commitment and control issues, and with people managing bipolar disorder or ADHD alongside other challenges.

She aims to treat clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while collaborating on a plan and clear goals. The overall focus is practical support so people can move toward the life they want and deserve.

Evidence-based approaches and online access

Many clients begin with techniques that teach practical coping and problem solving. These approaches focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, learning new skills, and testing small changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. They are often used for stress, sleep and eating concerns, depression, and day-to-day coping.

Other work concentrates on trauma-informed strategies that help people process loss, abuse, or major life changes. This type of work moves at a pace the person finds manageable and emphasizes safety, stabilization, and reclaiming a sense of control after difficult events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they set clear, measurable goals and adjust methods as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier with limited bandwidth, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging works for ongoing, flexible contact. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
