Getting to know Demetria Chestnut

I’m a licensed social worker who helps children (8+) and adults work through life’s challenges with compassion and practical tools. My approach blends cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused strategies, and a person-centered style to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard and understood. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or big life changes, we’ll work together to build healthier ways of thinking, coping, and moving forward. Trust and confidentiality are at the core of my practice, so you can share openly without judgment.

What should a new client know about working with you?

When you begin working with me, you can expect a safe and supportive space where your thoughts and feelings are treated with care and confidentiality. Therapy with me is a collaborative process—I believe you bring your own expertise about your life, while I provide tools and guidance to help you move forward. My style is practical and goal-oriented, drawing from CBT, solution-focused, and person-centered approaches, which means we’ll look at patterns, set realistic goals, and find strategies that fit into your everyday life. Some sessions may feel more structured, while others may simply give you the space to talk through what’s on your mind, and I’ll always meet you where you are. Progress takes time, but with consistency, small steps can lead to meaningful change. Most importantly, you’re in control of the process, and we can always adjust our focus to fit your needs.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

A typical session with me begins with getting to know you—what brings you to therapy, what you’re experiencing right now, and the goals you’d like to work toward. From there, we’ll explore your thoughts, feelings, and patterns at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I like to combine conversation with practical tools, so you’ll leave sessions not only feeling heard but also with strategies you can apply in daily life. Over time, we’ll check in on your progress, adjust goals as needed, and celebrate the steps you’re taking toward growth and change.
