About DeMarquane
DeMarquane Thomas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Louisiana and Texas with 6 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and other life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use in day-to-day life.
She uses client-centered methods to listen and prioritize what matters to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce reactivity and build moment-to-moment awareness.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change, and solution-focused techniques break problems into small, achievable steps. These approaches are geared toward issues like coping with loss, managing anger, navigating intimacy-related concerns, and addressing substance use or addictive behaviors.
DeMarquane pays attention to family and parenting themes clients bring up and helps people talk through family of origin issues, communication problems, and the stress of caregiving or aging relatives. She also supports people dealing with postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth-related concerns, and the financial stress that affects everyday life.
Her work style is straightforward. Sessions are meant to be practical and conversational, with an emphasis on skills clients can try between meetings. To begin, readers should confirm session options when scheduling.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In practice this means sessions prioritize what the person brings, and the therapist reflects and clarifies to help make sense of feelings and choices. This approach helps with relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and everyday worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together. It involves noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices for paying attention to the present moment. These techniques can reduce reactivity and help with stress, grief, and overwhelm. Practicing brief exercises between sessions is often part of the work. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining approaches or adjusting methods over time based on what helps most. The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Discussing scheduling needs and practical constraints is a normal part of the initial matching and planning.Areas of focus
