About Demetrius
With 14 years of experience, she brings a background in career mentoring and life coaching into therapy. That experience informs how she helps people set goals, make plans, and build daily routines that support recovery and well-being. She also helps people cope with grief, intimacy-related concerns, anger, and low self-esteem.
Her approach draws on client-centered conversation, attachment-based ideas, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Sessions typically include talking through patterns, practicing new ways of reacting, and trying small, doable changes between meetings. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people notice what matters and stay motivated.
Demetrius works from Tennessee and holds LPC and LPCC credentials. She focuses on clear, concrete steps rather than jargon. People who come to her often want practical strategies for handling cravings, reducing anxiety, repairing relationships, or making career shifts.
She respects each person's history and tailors plans to strengths and challenges. If you want straightforward support for addiction-related struggles, grief, or major life changes, she helps map the next steps and keeps work focused on real progress.
Approaches that translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and reactions. Online sessions can be a place to notice patterns in relationships and practice different ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and understanding the person without judgment, helping people feel heard and explore goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and uses small experiments and homework to test new habits.Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Confirm the available online session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist and platform. Many people appreciate online sessions because they fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to have regular follow-ups. Shorter check-ins can fit into a work break, and voice-only calls can lower the need for video. Discuss practical needs when you schedule so sessions can be arranged to fit everyday life.
