About Derrick
Derrick Woodbury is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 16 years of experience. He works with adults on problems that often show up at home, including stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues. He also supports people facing mood disorders, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to sexual assault and abuse.
Derrick uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small changes. He uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find reasons to change and to build momentum. He also works with Narrative and Solution-Focused approaches to reframe experiences and set short-term goals.
Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and what can be changed to improve day-to-day life. He often helps clients break big problems into manageable steps. Conversations address communication habits, anger and coping skills, parenting pressures, and rebuilding after loss or trauma.
His background includes private practice work as well as independent contractor roles. That mix has given him experience with a range of adult concerns, from relationship conflict to process addictions and multicultural issues. Derrick lists LPC as his credential and practices in Oklahoma.

How sessions work
How Derrick uses evidence-based approaches online
Derrick often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in his work. CBT focuses on noticing patterns of thought and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing centers on clarifying personal reasons for change and building commitment through guided conversation.He also uses Narrative and Solution-Focused ideas to help clients tell a different story about difficult events and set short-term goals. These approaches can be helpful for relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and coping with life changes. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process; Derrick will work with each client to decide what fits their needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online session choices before booking. Many people appreciate online work because it can be easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel. The focus is on making therapy practical and usable within everyday routines rather than on a specific delivery method.
