Cindy Holden

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I work with people who feel like life is happening to them—those carrying anxiety, depression, or overwhelming stress, still feeling the weight of past experiences or painful relationships, or noticing that old coping patterns like substance use no longer do what they used to. Most of the people I see arrive with a growing sense that something isn't working, and a willingness to try something different. My approach is collaborative, warm, and focused on understanding what's getting in the way and building a path forward together.

Hi, I’m Joi Dyson, LCSW-C — a therapist, life coach, and intuitive healer with 20 years of experience helping women break free from patterns that no longer serve them.

I specialize in working with women in their who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected — even when everything looks fine on the outside. Many of my clients are professionals, caregivers, or creatives navigating issues like perfectionism, depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, or chronic relationship struggles. You may have accomplished a lot — yet still carry a quiet, persistent feeling of “not enough.”
