Demetria Powell-Harrison, LCSW

Demetria Powell-Harrison is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and aims to make therapy a practical part of daily life. Her style is warm and interactive, and she emphasizes kindness and respect in every meeting.

She helps people address stress and anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports clients coping with life changes, career decisions, parenting strain, ADHD, and caregiver stress. Aging and geriatric issues are listed among her focus areas as well.

Demetria uses a flexible mix of approaches. She draws on Client-Centered therapy to follow each person’s priorities and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are part of her toolbox for building coping skills and clarifying motivation.

Sessions are a collaborative effort where practical steps and small goals are common. She works at a pace set by the client and encourages active problem solving and self-reflection. The room is described as a no-judgment space where people can speak honestly and be heard.

Her background includes long-term work with adults around trauma, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She combines active listening with solution-focused techniques to support people who want clear, doable changes in how they feel and act.

Using evidence-based approaches in online care

Demetria commonly draws on Client-Centered therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered therapy means she follows each person's priorities and reflects what they say to help them name their concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches skills to change those patterns.

She also uses Mindfulness techniques to help people notice the present moment and develop calmer responses to stress. These approaches are practical and aimed at building skills that people can use between sessions for everyday situations.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and adjusting over time so the work matches what the person wants to achieve.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking. The main practical benefits of remote work are fitting sessions into a busy schedule, shorter check-ins when time is tight, and options that reduce travel time. Many people find online work easier to combine with caregiving, appointments, or work obligations. Licensed professionals can help choose an approach and a rhythm that fits everyday life.
