About Demetrius

Demetrius King is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 14 years of experience. She blends practical coaching with therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, and intimacy-related struggles. Her approach centers on building trust and understanding each person's history and attachment patterns.

She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current behavior. That perspective is paired with client-centered listening and tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Background and approach

Sessions often include straightforward skill-building, such as emotion regulation, communication practice, and relapse prevention techniques. Demetrius supports people facing major life transitions like career shifts, divorce, or caregiving strain. She also addresses issues related to abandonment, adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric concerns, blended family stress, and cancer-related emotional load.

Practical topics such as self-esteem, anger management, codependency, and decision-making are part of her work. Her style is respectful and down-to-earth. Conversations are tailored to each person rather than following a fixed script.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at small, achievable steps. People who choose Demetrius can expect a mix of listening, coaching, and concrete strategies. She will help identify patterns, set goals, and practice new ways of coping so daily life feels more manageable.

Online support

Approaches you can work with online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions use this lens to spot repeating themes around trust, closeness, and abandonment and then practice different responses in daily life. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people set their own goals; it helps people feel heard and decide what changes matter most. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches concrete tools to change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and addiction concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Demetrius treats therapy as collaborative and will help identify which methods match a client's needs and goals. Together they can try different strategies and adjust the plan based on what helps most in real life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls let people work face to face from a chosen location, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a short check-in during a break, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, caregiving, or travel.
