Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Demetrius uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. This approach can help people who struggle with abandonment, attachment issues, or difficulties forming close relationships by focusing on relational patterns and emotional safety. She also applies Client-Centered Therapy, which places the client's experiences and goals at the center of treatment; in this approach the therapist offers empathy, active listening, and nonjudgmental support to help clients clarify values and make meaningful changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core method she uses - it helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build practical coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and Demetrius approaches this collaboratively. She will discuss options, consider the client’s needs and preferences, and adapt techniques over time so the treatment fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy with Demetrius is delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, geographic limits, or mobility challenges. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into daily life, and access licensed professionals from wherever the client is located within the therapist’s service area.
