About Derrick

Derrick McCullom is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with four years of practice. He helps people handle stress, anxiety, family problems, grief, relationship strain, anger, depression, and coping with life changes. Derrick also focuses on life purpose, men's issues, and young adult concerns.

Derrick keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He encourages honest conversation about feelings and reactions. People can expect him to listen, reflect, and help them map out concrete next steps to manage tough moments.

His approach centers on building trust and reducing the barriers that keep problems repeating. He talks through patterns that lead to angry outbursts or simmering resentment, and looks for small, manageable changes that make day-to-day life easier. Derrick uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide this work.

In the room he emphasizes skills people can use right away. That might include strategies for stress reduction, ways to calm intense emotions, or clearer communication skills for strained relationships. He frames these as practical tools rather than quick fixes.

Derrick aims to help people notice what triggers their reactions and to replace unhelpful habits with more useful ones. He supports people who want clearer purpose or better balance during life transitions. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with time spent on both understanding and action.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Derrick uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is skill-based work that teaches ways to manage strong emotions, such as grounding and breathing methods to reduce intensity. These skills aim to help during moments of anger or overwhelming stress.

Another element is cognitive-style work that looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and challenges them. This helps people reframe situations that trigger anxiety, resentment, or self-criticism and develop clearer responses in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Derrick works together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. He checks in about what is working and adjusts the plan as needed so the work stays relevant and doable.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, or camera-off conversations when that helps someone focus. Many people find online sessions a practical way to keep therapy consistent while juggling work and family commitments.
