About Derrick
Derrick Woodbury is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 16 years of experience in behavioral health. He has worked in private practice and as an independent contractor, helping people with anger, mood concerns, grief, relationship strain, and other life stresses.
Derrick focuses on practical conversations. He uses clear, goal-oriented methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused work to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Sessions are straightforward and action-minded rather than full of theory.
Clients can expect a mix of talking and concrete exercises. Derrick will help identify triggers, test small changes, and track what makes a difference. He also includes narrative elements when it helps people reframe difficult experiences and move past old stories that keep them stuck.
He regularly supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. He also lists work with parenting concerns, LGBT matters, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, and process addictions among his focus areas.
Derrick draws on Motivational Interviewing to support change when motivation is low. He combines that with CBT skills to reduce unhelpful thinking and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals. The overall approach is practical and directed toward small, achievable steps.
People who want clearer strategies for handling anger, better communication, or help adapting to life changes may find his style useful. To start, visitors are asked to use the site's matching process and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How sessions work
Approaches shared in online sessions
Two approaches Derrick commonly uses are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. CBT focuses on recognizing and testing thoughts and behaviors that feed anger or anxiety, and on building practical skills to respond differently. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes short-term goal setting and identifying small steps that lead to measurable change.He also draws on Motivational Interviewing when motivation is uncertain. That method helps people clarify what matters to them and find personal reasons to try different actions. Choosing which approaches to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client work together to see what fits the client's needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a single method by default.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
