About Demetruis
With 14 years of experience, she draws on therapies that focus on thoughts, values, and present-moment skills. Sessions often include looking at patterns that keep problems repeating and building simple tools to cope day to day. She helps clients address issues such as depression, self-esteem, addiction, and the emotional fallout from past hurt.
Demetruis also works with concerns around abandonment, attachment, and blended family dynamics. She supports people facing divorce, communication problems, and the shame or guilt that can follow difficult choices. Aging and geriatric issues are an identified focus area she addresses when they arise in a person’s life.
Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, and the Gottman Method for relationship work. That combination lets her tailor sessions to each person’s needs and goals. Therapy is collaborative - clients set aims and Demetruis helps build the steps to reach them.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions that match those values. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where values feel unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to change patterns that keep problems active, often by practicing new ways of thinking and acting in daily life. The Gottman Method focuses on concrete communication and relationship skills to reduce conflict and increase connection when partners want practical tools.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past help that did or didn’t work, and personal preferences. Together they decide which tools to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer a way to work on skills from wherever a person is that day. Many people find remote appointments help them practice new habits between meetings and keep momentum when life is hectic. Licensed professionals guide pacing and homework so sessions connect directly to everyday life.
