About Demetria
Demetria Powell-Harrison is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings 14 years of clinical experience to her practice.

Money and financial issues are among the areas she lists as a focus, and she helps clients look at how financial stress affects mood and choices.
Demetria uses practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered Therapy. She adapts tools to each person, combining them with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques when useful. Sessions tend to be interactive and focused on building coping skills and clearer decision making.
Her approach is straightforward. She listens, helps identify patterns, and works with clients to test small changes. She emphasizes kindness and respect while supporting people to make changes they want in their lives.
People who prefer a collaborative, goal-oriented therapist may find her approach helpful. The work often includes setting simple steps, checking progress, and adjusting the plan as needs shift.
How her approaches work in online care
Demetria commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience, with the therapist listening closely and following the client's lead to set goals and next steps.Finding the right approach is a shared process. She will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit, and adjust plans if something is not helping. The plan is collaborative and aims to match techniques to what a person needs right now.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep progress between sessions. For example, shorter check-ins can work well during a work break, and audio-only sessions may require less bandwidth than video. Licensed professionals can use these options to help people practice skills, manage stress, and work on decision making without requiring in-person visits.
