Derrick describes his practice as practical and action-oriented. He commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. He also draws on solution-focused and narrative approaches to set clear goals and reframe difficult stories. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change.
Sessions tend to focus on specific problems and small, doable steps between meetings. Derrick works with mild to moderate mood disorders, anger, grief, adjustment concerns, and relationship stress. He also notes experience with process addictions and sexual assault and abuse among his focus areas. He blends talk, homework, and short-term planning rather than open-ended therapy.
Before his private practice work he provided services as an independent contractor for several years. That background contributes to his emphasis on measurable progress and practical strategies. Derrick uses his LPC credential in Oklahoma and nearby states where he is licensed.

How Derrick uses brief therapies in remote sessions
Derrick commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related concerns by breaking problems into manageable steps.He also draws on motivational interviewing to explore mixed feelings about change. That approach helps when someone is uncertain about making shifts in behavior or habits and supports setting personally meaningful goals.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Derrick will discuss goals, present concerns, and preferences with each person and then suggest which methods to try. Adjustments are made together if an approach does not fit the client's needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate remote work because it can fit a lunch break, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-in sessions when schedules are tight. Talk through practical needs when you schedule so the format and timing can match everyday life.
