About Dean
Dean Rogers is an AASW social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and life changes. He speaks plainly and listens closely so clients feel heard. He aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person's needs.
Dean uses a mix of practical and reflective approaches. He draws on Existential therapy to help people find meaning during difficult times and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to work with difficult thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
He also uses attachment-informed ideas to examine how past relationships shape current patterns. In sessions he keeps language straightforward. People can expect clear goals, practical strategies and time to talk about their values.
He supports work on grief, relationships, anger, sleep and self‑esteem without jargon. His background includes six years working in social work settings and training in positive psychology. That experience informs his focus on ageing, caregiver stress and end‑of‑life concerns as well as addiction and family‑of‑origin issues.
Dean encourages people who are unsure about therapy to try an initial conversation. He will collaborate on a plan that fits your situation and preferences. Taking the first step is often the hardest part, and he aims to make that step easier.

Online support
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Existential therapy helps people consider meaning, choice and responsibility in their lives. Online sessions can provide space to reflect on identity, purpose and big life questions when coping with loss or major transitions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and taking actions that match personal values. In an online session this looks like learning simple exercises to notice thoughts, build committed actions and practise flexible responses to stress. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships influence how people relate now. Together a therapist and client can identify patterns, practise new ways of relating and strengthen emotional awareness through conversation and experiential tasks. Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which approaches to try based on goals and preferences. That plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses so it stays useful and practical. Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction; phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, reflective exercises and when someone prefers writing. These options make therapy more flexible around work, family and other commitments.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
