About me
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.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Stephen Dexter. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Great person to talk to. Worth your time and money.
Stephen was a great therapist he helped me through a lot.
I’m a blessed man to have met Stephen and weekly get tine with him. Extremely supportive and helpful.
Stephen is extremely helpful and understanding. He helped me tremendously in seeing things I didn’t, and gave my tools to start making the changes I really wanted in life, I would highly recommend him!
Stephen seems attentive for my first two sessions. He asks a lot of questions early on and finalizes your answers into actionable expectations by the end of the session.
Has helped me tremendously. The only reason I stopped seeing him was for financial reasons.
Stephen Dexter has been great so far. It's nice to talk to someone who was in the same position as myself. I talked to two other therapist before Stephen and I felt that he the best one to help start and guide me through my recovery. I would recommend him to others.
Only had 2 sessions so far, but everything has been going very well. Would highly recommend Stephen
Stephen listens well and offers a variety of approaches. I’ve only started with him but greatly like his openness to multiple approaches.
Very good
I like working with Stephen. He’s a good listener and has offered some meaningful insight to what’s bothering me. He’s been helpful and thought provoking with his observations.
I like that I can have frank discussions with Stephen about my concerns, and the process has also allowed me to see my circumstances different and more optimistically.
He is the best
The very best therapist I have ever encountered! I truly cannot say enough kind words about Stephan!!!
Stephen has been perfect for where I am right now and what I am working through. I honestly couldn’t think of a better person to talk to as I navigate a litany of challenges and changes. He continues to be one of the highlights of my week.
Stephen Dexter has really helped me think through some tough issues. I have a lot more clarity now for moving forward.
Stephen was supportive and shared ideas and options.
Couldn’t be better
He’s a great guide and listens to your issues while giving constructive tools to help with said issues
Great and very friendly. Listens to everything I have to say and gives great feedback and advice on what i have told him about.
I could not be more grateful for the work Stephen and I have done together. He has helped me immensely, and while our time together was short, I feel he has given me the tools and insight I need to move forward. Thank you Stephen!
Stephen is a wonderful therapist. I only had money for a month, and we made the most of it. Stephen is a great listener and creates a very open environment where I felt very safe and secure. Even though I had a short time, I feel like the benefits reaped are going to last a lifetime. Thank you, Stephen!!
Steve has helped us more thank i can thank him for
I feel like I can really relate to Stephen. There are several times in each session that he says something and it just clicks.
I am grateful to have found a counselor that is so genuine. Finding a faith-based counselor has made all the difference for me. Stephen's ability to tactfully incorporate scripture and faith into the cognitive behavioral aspect of therapy has been so helpful. I am thankful to be able to go on my therapy journey with Stephen.
