More about Joseph
- 32 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
Greetings! I have had the opportunity to work in the counseling field for 32 years and my desire to help, learn and share has remained strong. My experiences have seen me working with families, youth and adults in a variety of issues. From family preservation and individual life issues, adults and youths involved in judicial system(s), victims of sexual assault, to working with people marginalized in society due to some identified stigma.
As a retired military veteran, I have a unique understanding of the pressures of military life, as well as veteran life. Also, as a man of color, I appreciate the challenges that marginalized people experience in the lives. I have worked within the Judicial system with families and individuals from incarceration to post-incarceration, individual work, and group work, with victims of sexual assault, as well as with people that are experiencing stresses with various parts of their life.
My approach, to the therapeutic process, is to be considerate, thoughtful and respectful. I encourage (team) work, effective and honest communication, as well as, a commitment to addressing issues in a manner that allows for surviving and thriving in life. My life motto is " We don't have a second chance at .... Now."
I wish you the best!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Mr. Dickerson is perfect for me
Joseph is an amazing listener
I wasn't convinced of how effective virtual therapy could be. Joseph Dickerson was recommended as a match for me. By the end of the second session I was pretty sure we could work together on what I brought to therapy. In pretty short order, he has helped me to identify and address things I wasn't even seeing. I have to admit, having someone that can do that has made a huge difference. He listens, he's wise and he cares. I'm so grateful I have a chance to work with him.
Excellent. Gives objective, pragmatic advice that will work in the real world.
Extremely knowledgeable, respectful, and helpful
Joe really takes the time to understand what your problems are. He doesn’t have a preconceived plan of action before he meets you. He’s easy to talk to and to trust. I’m actually learning new things that I hadn’t realized before about myself. I would recommend Joe to anyone who has ever felt that they never got anything out of counseling. That’s how I felt in the past. He’s pretty awesome.
Joseph has helped me immensely, to the point where I think I’m ready for our time to be concluded. He is an amazing therapist and I would highly recommend him to anyone!
