About Derrick
Derrick Woodbury is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma. He focuses on common concerns that bring people to therapy such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma, and parenting challenges. Derrick draws on 16 years of experience to guide people through changes and difficult moments.
He keeps sessions practical and goal-oriented. Derrick uses straightforward conversation to identify what is causing strain and then maps out small, doable steps forward.
Background and approach
He blends cognitive behavioral approaches with solution-focused techniques to help people notice patterns and try new responses. His background includes years of independent practice and work as an independent contractor. That mix gives him experience with a wide range of mood and adjustment concerns, anger issues, intimacy-related questions, and concerns relevant to LGBT clients.
Derrick also addresses process addictions, panic and trauma-related symptoms when they fit the client's needs. Sessions tend to emphasize clear tools and short-term planning, while leaving room to address deeper life themes like forgiveness, life purpose, and multicultural identity. Derrick aims to help people develop healthier habits and better ways to handle stress and relationship strain.
People seeking help with parenting topics will find a practical focus on communication, boundaries, and coping strategies. Derrick works in English and offers multiple online session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Approaches that fit online therapy and everyday life
Derrick uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood changes, panic, and many stress-related issues. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method he uses to help people find their own reasons to change and build momentum one step at a time; it can be helpful for process addictions and habits that feel stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Derrick treats therapy as a collaboration and will help you pick strategies that match your goals, needs, and preferences. He often combines methods so sessions stay focused and practical while also addressing longer-term concerns when they arise.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits your day. Live chat and text-based messaging let you send updates, ask quick questions, or check in between sessions without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and other responsibilities.
