LEFT JOIN raising count due to one to many

I've added some data to my dashboard and the new LEFT JOIN has caused my counts to rise.  This is because it is a one to many relationship.  Is there anyway to tell count to look at a specific table and not consider the join?  I'm trying to avoid distinct because I use a cyclic group for time (month, week, day).

Count(), or any other function, can not be limited to a specific table. The workaround is to maintain a separate table with the counter at the desired level of granularity.

Thanks, Rob.  I'm going to try to concatenate some fields for distinct count.
