About Demetrica
Demetrica Dement helps people manage a wide range of concerns, including addiction, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, stress, and trauma. She also supports people facing parenting pressures, career decisions, self-esteem struggles, eating concerns, and LGBT-related issues. She is identified as an LPC, and she practices from Texas with 14 years of professional experience.
Her style is straightforward and strengths-focused. She treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for the resources they already have.
How Demetrica works
Sessions emphasize practical steps and realistic goals rather than long lectures. She values courage and steady progress over quick fixes. Demetrica draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a listening space where people feel heard.
She also uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and building healthier communication habits. Her background includes over a decade of work with people facing trauma, criminal justice involvement, and mood or behavioral concerns.
That experience informs how she plans sessions and sets goals with each person. She explains options clearly and helps prioritize what matters most to the client. People can expect collaborative, practical sessions that focus on real-life solutions.
The approach is adaptable to what each person brings to the room. Sessions aim to build lasting skills for handling stress, relationships, and life changes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what she hears, and helps people make choices that match their values. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and life-purpose questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors relate. It uses concrete exercises and homework to change patterns that keep someone stuck, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for handling strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication in tense moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they will decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for a full-session conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat works well for quick check-ins or between-session support. These formats make it easier to keep consistent appointments and to practice skills in daily life.
