About Dean
Dean Rogers is an AASW social worker with six years' experience. He works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain and family of origin issues. He also helps people facing grief, ageing and caregiver stress. Sessions focus on practical conversation and clear steps people can try between meetings.
Dean uses straightforward talking and listening to identify the patterns that keep causing problems. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. Attachment-based ideas are used when early family roles still affect current relationships.
Work with him is collaborative. He helps clients set short-term goals and practises concrete skills in session. Strategies might include values clarification, behaviour experiments and communication exercises to test new ways of relating.
Dean has a background in positive psychology and experience supporting people through retirement planning, ageing concerns and end-of-life caregiving. He also works with issues such as parenting strain, fatherhood questions, and substance-related problems. He explains options clearly and discusses what to expect at the first appointment.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect current Australian practice. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the site.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Dean commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action even when uncomfortable thoughts arise, which helps with anxiety, stress and motivation problems. CBT works on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing alternative behaviours, which can be useful for mood, sleep and addiction-related issues.Attachment-based ideas may also be brought into conversation to look at how family roles and early relationships still affect current patterns. This can help when family of origin issues or relationship patterns keep repeating. The therapist will work with each person to choose which approaches suit their goals and preferences, so the direction of work evolves from those conversations.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments around work or caregiving and making shorter check-ins easier to manage. Exact session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. The therapist will discuss how sessions can be scheduled and what to expect at the first appointment, adapting sessions to what fits each person’s life.
