About Dean
Dean Rogers is an AASW social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety and life transitions. He speaks plainly and offers steady support for people dealing with grief, addiction concerns, relationship strain and mood changes. He aims to make the first step feel doable and meets each person where they are.
Dean draws on six years of practice working with adults through common but heavy problems such as depression, anger and sleep or eating difficulties.
Background and approach
He also supports people managing parenting stress, caregiving responsibilities and the challenges that come with ageing and retirement planning. His sessions are practical and person-led. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.
He also brings attachment-informed thinking to understand how early relationships affect current connections and intimacy. Dean describes his style as respectful and down-to-earth. Conversations are tailored to each person’s needs and goals rather than following a rigid script.
He works to create a calm space where you can name what’s difficult and test small changes between sessions. If you are coping with anxiety, relationship strain, grief or the stress of major life change, Dean offers steady guidance and practical tools. He encourages people to take manageable steps and to set goals that fit their everyday lives.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice anxious or painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful when worry or avoidance gets in the way of everyday life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and trying new, small experiments to shift those patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current connections and intimacy and can help with relationship strain and attachment worries.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with you to choose methods that fit your goals, needs and preferences. That may mean trying an ACT exercise one week and a CBT behavioural task the next, and then reflecting together on what helped.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let you meet face-to-face from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use video. Live chat or text messages suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections or ongoing support between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving or other routines while still working with an appropriately qualified therapist.
