Joi Dyson, LCSW-C
About me
As a licensed therapist in Maryland, I bring nearly two decades of compassionate mental health experience supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate emotional wellness, with specialized expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, stress management, and career transitions.
I am deeply committed to supporting individuals as they explore self-love, overcome communication barriers, and heal from experiences of isolation and shame. My approach honors each person's unique journey, focusing on empowering clients to develop resilience, rebuild self-esteem, and rediscover their sense of purpose.
My therapeutic work particularly supports women experiencing workplace challenges, midlife transitions, and relationship changes. I create a warm, affirming space where clients can courageously examine their experiences, develop healthier coping strategies, and move toward meaningful personal growth.
Through evidence-based practices and a deeply empathetic approach, I walk alongside my clients, helping them transform challenging life experiences into opportunities for healing and self-discovery.

Joi is so helpful. She is supportive but at the same time she challenges. A great balance.

Ms Dyson has been everything I could imagine being nervous about therapy she helped ease me in by listening to me and asking key questions to my rambling. She’s a great ear and voice
