About Dean
Dean Rogers is an AASW social worker with six years' experience. He helps people who are worn down by stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, grief, anger and life transitions. He also supports those facing sleep or eating difficulties, parenting stress, ADHD and challenges with self-esteem.
Dean uses clear, everyday language in sessions. He asks about the specific moments that cause frustration and the patterns that follow. Together clients map out small changes they can try between meetings. Progress is tracked in concrete ways rather than vague promises.
His approach draws on several practical therapies. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify thought patterns that feed anger and anxiety. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and actions that matter, even when emotions are strong. Attachment-based ideas are used when past relationships shape current reactions.
Sessions aim to improve communication, reduce reactive responses, and build coping tools for stressful situations. Work often includes role-playing difficult conversations, planning calmer responses, and setting realistic goals for behaviour change. Homework tasks are simple and measurable.
Dean has a background in positive psychology and experience supporting people through retirement and ageing concerns. He frames discussions around what clients want their day-to-day life to look like, then helps them practise the skills to move toward that. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Online sessions and therapeutic approaches
Dean commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in his online work. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people test and change unhelpful thinking that fuels anger or anxiety. ACT focuses on values and committed actions so people can live in line with what matters, even when emotions are intense.He also draws on attachment-based ideas when early relationships affect how someone reacts now. That approach explores patterns learned in earlier relationships and how they show up in current interactions, which can help reduce reactive responses in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences and practical needs. Sessions usually combine conversation, practical exercises and short tasks to try between meetings.
