Demetrica Dement, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Demetrica

Demetrica Dement is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of practice. She focuses on concerns such as addictions, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, and issues around intimacy and self esteem. Her work also covers topics like LGBT matters, anger, eating issues, career questions, and life changes.

She speaks English and works with clients from Texas. She approaches therapy with the belief that each person knows their life best.

Background and approach

Sessions start by listening to the client's story and identifying strengths they already have. From there she uses straightforward tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when they fit the problem. Many conversations look at unhelpful thoughts, emotional coping skills, and clearer communication.

Demetrica aims for practical steps people can use outside sessions. That may mean setting small goals, practicing new ways to handle stress, or trying communication exercises. She values steady progress over quick fixes and adjusts plans as needs change.

Her background includes work with clients affected by the criminal justice system and people coping with trauma. Over 14 years she has worked across varied challenges and life stages. This experience informs how she helps someone facing complicated or layered problems.

If a parent or adult is weighing therapy, she offers an approach focused on listening first, then building tools together. The process begins with identifying concrete next steps the client can try between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on the client's own strengths. It helps people who want a supportive space to talk, clarify their goals, and make decisions at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more helpful ones, which can ease anxiety, depression, and stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and handling conflicts. It includes strategies for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the client's needs and goals, then suggest one or a blend of methods to try. Together they evaluate what helps and adjust the plan over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from home. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, set practical goals, and check progress between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
