About Demetria
Demetria Powell-Harrison is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family stress, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than jargon or lengthy theory.
Her style is conversational and interactive. She listens and helps people untangle patterns that affect current choices. Expect straightforward talk about what is happening now and small experiments to try between sessions.
Demetria draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on the client’s perspective. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and measure progress.
She also integrates Motivational Interviewing to support shifts in motivation, and Mindfulness Therapy practices when grounding and awareness are helpful. The mix changes based on what a person needs in the moment.
People come to her for a range of concerns including ADHD, compassion fatigue, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career worries, blended family issues, and caregiving stress. She aims to make planning realistic and directly useful for day-to-day life.
To begin, clients complete a short intake and pick an initial session. The focus early on is establishing clear goals and deciding which strategies to try first.
Approaches used and how online sessions fit
Demetria commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT helps people notice and test thoughts that feed anxiety or low mood, and then try different behaviors to see what changes. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting clear, short-term goals and tracking small, practical steps that lead to measurable progress.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations grounded in the client's experience. That approach prioritizes listening and adjusting the plan to match what the person says they need. Deciding which approaches to use is collaborative; she will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences.
