Their specific challenges included grief issues, depression, anxiety, relationship problems and family issues. I have counseled clients both individually and in groups. I focus on helping clients to develop better coping skills, improved ability to communicate and relate to others, recognize and change self-defeating thinking and behavior patterns, and realize their strengths and competencies for the purpose of solving their problems. My approach embraces Cognitive Behavior, Supportive Counseling and Problem Solving Strategies. My specialties include chemical addiction, relationship issues, depression, grief, anxiety/stress, character defects associated with addiction and anger management. I am willing to offer my services through messaging, live chat, phone and video.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I trust very few people… And I have to say… I trust John.

Great listener honest opinion

Listens, offers great advice, and always was a meaningful therapy session.

John is highly knowledgeable and intuitive. I appreciate how he hones in on the way I’m feeling and gently reflects back that he understands. I feel heard by him and trust his advice.

John was a great therapist. Listened to me. Had great conversation. He helped me a lot with my problems. I strongly recommend him .

Here’s the thing about John, he listens. Through some of the most challenging times in my entire life, he has been there. If you are looking for a dynamite person to call your therapist, you’ve found a great one that I consider dearly. God bless this man. I got lucky.

Dr. john really understand me. I feel very confident to share my live with him. He is a great therapist.

John is a very experienced therapist. He is incredibly empathic, helpful, genuine and easy to talk to.

I went through three therapists before John was my therapist. John is very thorough, listens well, takes notes and continues to reflect and research beyond the session. Night and day compared to my previous therapists. I am so grateful for his expertise and wisdom!

Very helpful I was matched with the right therapist pretty quickly

John is a very good listener and manages to focus on the important issues. Discussion with him reveals me to myself

He's a very great therapist and attentive

My first meeting with John was exactly what i hoped for!

John has been a godsend. He has really helped me express myself in time of need as I navigate through moments of crisis. He has definitely helped me realize; I am not alone. God bless him

Very understanding and helpful , my life became better only after 4 sessions Thanks you John :)

He has been great

I utilize the chat feature to speak with John every week. He is professional & has really helped me open up, realize the things in my life that have affected me, & is great at listening & guiding me. I have recommended Better Help to my friends & colleagues.

Highly recommendable, and seems genuine and attentive. I’ve been through a couple therapists, and the difference is night and day.

So far, so good

So far John has been a great counselor and very intent listener!

John is a deep listener who comes up with questions that go directly to the issues.

John truly listens to me and he give me tools and tells me things about myself I don't even know. True professional. I greatly appreciate his help.

He’s great. Feels so safe to talk to.

Great guy to talk to. Felt pretty comfortable telling him something extremely personal.

Really amazing therapist! After our first session, I felt better and empowered! My life has also changed for the better!

Mr Dwyer is an excellent listener, analytic and highly corresponding. 95% of only few sessions we had so far. I felt confident to talk about everything I needed to. He did not need a lot of time to find out the problem and be straight to the point of what actually can be(and actually is) wrong with me. Mr. Dwyer asks 'basic' questions, but in a way that made me think differently about situation. Sends messages regarding an upcoming session, which makes me feel very welcoming and see that someone cares. What I also admire about Mr. Dwyer is, that he does not judge me about anything that happens! I could write an essay on how happy I'm to find him, but I hope that this comment and all other comments can be enough to make you - the reader - choose Mr. Dwyer! I have never had any therapy session, however I think I will not need anyone else after we finish everything. This is only our beginning, but I do not want to try to look for anyone else. I feel that I've found an ideal person to help me to go through my tough times. Thank you, Mr Dwyer!

Great listener & always has a great word of advice

John has been a great listener. I find it easy to talk to him and express my thoughts. He listens, understands, gives perspectives and assignments. I definitely see how sticking it out in therapy with John will be helpful.

Mr.Dwyer's has been such a great help to me and my mental health. He discovered what I was struggling with in my first session with him without. When other counselors was waisting time and money. I am thankful to God I found him and his knowledge. Using spiritual/Christian base therapy is what I needed.

John is a very charismatic therpist. He gave me some really good advice that I will hold on forever. He mainly helped me with greif, anger management, and narcissism. He provides you with loads of content that you can use to become a better you or move past a situation. He was also a great listen. Super thankful for him!

Today was my initial session with John. We did a chat session because I’m at work. It went very well. John listened and made me feel comfortable enough to open up to him. I can’t wait until my next session.

Great guy

John was amazing, helped me at a low point in my life. I’m feeling like a new person. 10/10 would recommend.

I have met with John a couple times now and the insight he has brought to me and my situation has been incredible. He understands and listens to you and asks the questions that let you realize more about yourself without him telling you. I highly recommend him.

He’s great.

John has been an excellent provider. A good man with a plethora of experience to share, and genuine care.

He is a GODSEND! He is gifted at what he does He meshes Spiritual and Clinical together he Gives great advice and exercises to help you after your sessions

Personable (good bed side manner so to speak ) , Relatable and provides sound insightful suggestions for personal growth. So far 4 stars.

John, has really helped and supported me through this difficult period. He is well vast in knowledge and experience. He provided tools and videos to help me recover from Trauma. He listens and validates my experience.

Dr. Dwyer listens and is very knowledgeable!

John Dwyer is very understanding, offers many helpful tips and advice. I feel very comfortable with telling him about my experiences.

John is very understanding of the situation one is in and provides suitable advice for it!

Mr. John is an incredible active listener and I enjoy our sessions so much. I had already been on better help for a few weeks before I matched with him and I feel like we’ve made a lot of progress in a short time, like we’ve been friends forever. Not only does he take the time to listen and ask questions, but he gives helpful videos to look into to better understand what you’re going through and why. He makes it easy to confide and he makes me laugh. Mr. John if you read this, you’ve had profound impact in my life, and I appreciate you.

John has been very kind and a wonderful listener. He helped me feel safe and through our short sessions together gave me great insights on areas that need to be worked on

Going great.

Mr Dwyer is an incredible therapist, compassionate and a great listener. He offered me some really helpful resources throughout and allowed me to see some of the areas in which I needed work. I felt seen, appreciated and cared for. Highly recommend!

I expressed my concerns with John as I was skeptical about opening up to a new therapist. He constantly keeps me engaged and gives me homework to work on outside of our sessions. I appreciate that he listened to my concerns off the bat and checks in on me. He is a master of his craft.

John help me have a healthier perspective of my past trauma and help me not feel ashamed anymore. He helped me understand so many things of my past, present and future. He gave me some tools to keep learning more so I can regain control in my life, and be more aware of my thoughts and pattern. I feel mentally stronger now, more hopeful of my healing process and I finally feel relieved to be able to tell my story with a great listener like John. Our sessions was totally worth the money, his words gave me instant gratification.

John is a keen listener and truly comprehends the issues. I am amazed at how well he ties the pieces together. Extremely intuitive and helpful.

I love working with John. He’s easy to talk to and is always able to provide me with additional resources through videos, articles, or books to help understand and work through my issues.

So far my experience with John has been positive. John is very caring and empathetic towards my personal situation. I feel very comfortable revealing my deepest darkest thoughts because John has created such a safe space and for that I am deeply thankful.

Mr. John is a very supportive person, pays a great deal of attention and does his best to guide you in any problem you may have, which most times is all we need.

John is a great councilor. I felt very safe discussing my situation and John was very good at helping me work through my thinking process in a supportive way.

John is very nice and understanding and also experienced with dealing with the issues I have and knowing what to say and what I could do to help me. I’ve felt lighter talking with him. I appreciate and would recommend:)

John takes the time to listen to my concerns during our sessions, He's very easy to talk with and he cares about my well being. I look forward to talking with him on a weekly basis regarding my state of mind and socializing with others. I believe that he does a very good job using client-centered therapy when working with me!

John's been really approachable and patient in listening to my concerns. He offered really good help and also helped me get a better perspective on my personal circumstances. He has a way to summarise issues in a way that one is able to understand very clearly where the main problems lie and I really enjoyed my sessions with him. Thanks

John Dwyer is a very good listner and gives very practical and effective solutions to a given situation!

Very great listener and respectful of my needs.

He is really helping me. Great listener

Very Cindy and considerate. Much appreciated

Everything is great!

I live in the uk and have had counselling through the NHS before, so I have no idea of the difference in quality between free counselling here in the uk, and private counselling elsewhere, I will however state that the difference between my previous (NHS) counsellor and John Dwyer shows that private counsellors are much more effective for me, this man shows understanding of my situation, helps me understand not only why I am having trouble, but that a lot of others would too, while also factoring in my age, life experience, experience in my professional life, and my strongest personality traits. This all lead to him really understanding my behaviour, my emotions, thought process, and reactions to situations I have trouble with, which means that he is able to tailor his advice, and his opinions to me personally and my situation specifically. Highly recommend for anyone

John has been a great help with handling stress and anxiety in my day to day life. Great listener and very easy to talk too. Always gives good pointers and cares.

Very patient and encouraging

The advice I got from John helped me a lot. Changing the view on life from negative to positive and how to do that is something that I haven't seen or thought of before and John helped me learn it.
