Derrick Woodbury is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma. He has 16 years of experience in counseling and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues related to identity and sexual health. Derrick also supports those coping with life changes, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and aging and geriatric issues.

He uses straightforward, practical approaches in sessions. Derrick draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people spot patterns, test new behaviors, and set small goals. He also uses Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy to help clients clarify values and reframe difficult stories about themselves.

Sessions tend to be focused and goal-oriented, with room for personal reflection. Derrick aims to help people develop tools they can use between appointments. He works collaboratively, inviting clients to shape what they want from counseling and to track progress over time.

His background includes years in private practice and work as an independent contractor. That mix informs a flexible, practical style that centers clear steps and realistic change. Derrick emphasizes respect for each person’s culture and life story while attending to mood, behavior, and daily routines.

People who choose Derrick can expect direct communication, concrete strategies, and attention to both immediate problems and longer-term goals. To begin, visitors are asked to use the site’s Start Therapy process and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How his approaches translate to online care

CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different actions to change mood and behavior. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related concerns. Motivational Interviewing focuses on what matters to the person and helps resolve mixed feelings about change, which can be useful for process addictions and lifestyle shifts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Derrick will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences rather than insisting on a single technique. Together they check what is helping and adjust the plan as therapy proceeds.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fewer travel needs, which can make regular sessions simpler to keep. Online work can fit into a lunch break, reduce time spent commuting, and let people try focused tools in shorter check-ins when helpful. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available and what will best fit your routine.
