About Demetrius

Demetrius McKay is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship or family difficulties. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that fit each person’s life. Demetrius aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and supportive for someone taking that first step.

He has ten years of experience in the field and is licensed in Delaware as an LPMHC - Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor.

Background and approach

His work includes supporting people coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, anger, bipolar mood challenges, and major life changes. He adjusts conversations and plans to match each person’s needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. Demetrius uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals and pace.

He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. The Gottman Method appears among his approaches for addressing relationship patterns and communication concerns. Sessions may include straightforward exercises, problem-solving, and check-ins that build skills over time.

He approaches each meeting with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and focuses on steps people can use between visits. People who want a clear, practical path for coping with stress, improving relationships, or managing mood swings may find his style useful. He encourages starting small - a brief conversation and a plan tailored to current priorities.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Demetrius uses client-centered therapy to center each session on the person’s priorities and pace, creating space to talk through what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. The Gottman Method is used to look at relationship habits and communication, focusing on small, practical changes people can try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. He will work with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps keep sessions focused and relevant to what the person wants to change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different days and routines. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can work well for brief check-ins, homework review, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy schedule.
