About Derricia

Derricia Walters is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana who blends practical skills training with a person-centered sensibility. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness and emotion-focused techniques to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and pursue clear goals.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes strengths while addressing obstacles such as stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. With four years of clinical experience, Walters integrates DBT-informed strategies and narrative elements where helpful, and tailors interventions to concerns like panic attacks, social anxiety, impulsivity, and isolation.

She also attends to areas such as workplace stress, money-related distress, multicultural concerns, and relationship communication problems. Her sessions aim to be collaborative and skills-oriented while honoring each person’s perspective and values.

Remote Approaches That Emphasize Skills and Awareness

Walters commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and workplace stress. She also incorporates Client-Centered principles that prioritize the client's experience and personal goals, creating space for each person to guide the pace and focus of therapy. When appropriate, Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies are introduced to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with clients to identify which methods match their needs and preferences, adjusting techniques over time based on progress and feedback so treatment stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into a busy life or access support from a familiar environment. These formats allow regular skill practice and check-ins while maintaining continuity of care across scheduling changes and daily demands.
