About Demetrica

Demetrica Dement is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 14 years of experience helping people face anger, addiction, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She believes clients know their own stories and brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions. Her approach centers on practical steps that fit into everyday life.

She listens first to understand what matters most. Then she uses tools from client-centered work and evidence-informed therapies to help people notice patterns and try different ways of coping. Sessions focus on skills that reduce stress, improve communication, and manage strong emotions like anger.

Demetrica has supported people through grief, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, and challenges tied to identity such as LGBTQ concerns. She also offers help with parenting stress, career questions, eating concerns, and midlife and young adult transitions. Her work includes addressing abandonment, forgiveness, and purpose issues when those come up.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. She encourages small experiments between sessions so clients can test what helps. Progress is tracked in simple, practical terms rather than abstract measures.

Demetrica holds an LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, in Texas. She practices in English and does not work with international clients. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session based on availability.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than a fixed agenda. It involves empathic listening, reflection, and helping people find their own solutions to problems like relationship strain or grief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try alternative behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress because it breaks problems into small, manageable steps.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationship patterns keep repeating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a skill-based plan for a few weeks and then adjusting based on what works.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy schedule, makes it easier to keep appointments, and allows for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about how sessions can be scheduled to match your daily routine and goals.
