About Derrick
Derrick Woodbury is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship concerns, and trauma. He approaches sessions with straightforward language and practical steps so people can start feeling more in control of daily life. Derrick has 16 years of experience in counseling and brings that background to each session.
He uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that get in the way.
Background and approach
Derrick also borrows ideas from solution-focused work to set clear, achievable goals and build on what already works. Narrative techniques are used to reframe difficult life stories and open new ways of understanding past events. In session he favors short-term, goal-oriented conversations that focus on what someone wants to change now.
Derrick adapts his approach to each person, blending methods so sessions feel practical and relevant. He can support people navigating mood shifts, anger, intimacy issues, parenting stress, and identity-related challenges. Derrick has worked in independent practice and as an independent contractor, giving him experience with a variety of concerns and settings.
He offers care by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs. Sessions are conducted in English and are organized through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions based on therapist availability.
Derrick aims to help people find small, manageable ways to improve daily functioning and move toward their goals.
How Derrick’s Approaches Work Online
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test them against real life. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, ADHD-related patterns, and stress to create clearer daily routines and coping steps.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and practical goals. It helps people identify what already works and build on those strengths to move forward quickly.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Derrick will work collaboratively to choose approaches based on a person's goals, preferences, and what shows progress in early sessions. That way therapy stays relevant and responsive to changing needs.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow real-time conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit brief check-ins or ongoing support between calls. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, quicker access to sessions, and different ways to communicate depending on comfort and circumstance.
