About Derrick
Derrick Woodbury is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 16 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, self-esteem struggles, depression, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting, anger, bipolar disorder, and related challenges.
He offers straightforward, practical sessions that focus on what a person is dealing with now. Derrick uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build clearer next steps. He also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative therapy when those approaches fit the clients goals.
In sessions he helps people name patterns that escalate anger or anxiety. He works on skills for handling tense moments, communicating needs, and repairing relationships when conflict has done damage. He also supports people coping with grief, life transitions, and mood-related struggles.
Derrick brings experience from private practice and independent contracting roles over many years. He combines concrete skill-building with conversational problem-solving. That means practical tools, brief experiments to try between sessions, and attention to what actually helps day to day.
People who want direct, solution-oriented work around stress, control issues, or anger-related problems often choose him. Sessions begin with current concerns and move toward manageable steps that fit someones life and responsibilities.
How Derrick uses structured approaches in remote sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice it means spotting unhelpful thinking, testing alternative ideas, and practicing new reactions to reduce angry or anxious responses.Motivational Interviewing is a short-term conversational method that helps people clarify what matters to them. It supports decision-making and building momentum for change, useful for shifting patterns like avoidance or repeated arguments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Derrick will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and changing course if something isnt working.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or let someone choose an environment that feels quieter. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep work consistent with day-to-day life, and Derrick can help plan how to practice skills between sessions.
