About Derrick
Derrick brings 16 years of experience to his work, including private practice and contractor roles. He uses straightforward, goal-oriented methods so sessions focus on what matters most to the client. Conversations often include tools for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and coping with change.

Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy are woven in to help people clarify values and reframe difficult stories.
Derrick keeps things plain and direct. He works with people at mild to moderate levels of mood concerns and anger management. Sessions emphasize action, relief from overwhelming feelings, and ways to repair or strengthen close relationships.
People come to Derrick wanting clear plans and realistic strategies. He encourages active participation, homework when helpful, and steady progress toward goals. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step get the process started.

How these approaches shape online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Derrick uses CBT to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors that reduce anger, anxiety, and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete changes clients can make right away. It is useful for people who want quick steps to feel better and see progress.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Derrick will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match the client's needs. The plan may change as progress is made, and he encourages feedback so sessions stay useful and relevant.
