About Derrick

Derrick Woodbury is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who brings 16 years of clinical experience to his practice.

Background and approach

He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, relationship and family difficulties, LGBT matters, ADHD, bipolar disorder, anger, and parenting challenges. He also addresses process addictions, panic and mood disorders, multicultural concerns, and issues tied to life transitions and forgiveness.

His approach centers on practical, goal-oriented techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Derrick aims to help clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress, then collaborate to build alternative strategies and coping skills.

With experience across independent practice and independent contracting, he blends structured methods with attention to each person’s story and values. Derrick holds LPC licensure and offers sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Prospective clients who speak English and live in the United States can begin by using the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to his availability.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy

CBT focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps clients test and change unhelpful thinking patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and mood disorders. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen personal motivation for change, often useful for process addictions, engagement in treatment, and making life changes.

Derrick approaches selection of methods as a collaborative process. He works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting techniques as needed so the approach aligns with each person’s circumstances and objectives.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access care from home or other convenient locations while working with a licensed professional who uses structured, evidence-informed methods.
