About Derrick
Derrick Woodbury is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 16 years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, grief, and issues related to trauma, intimacy, and self-esteem.
He describes working with mild to moderate mood disorders, anger, LGBTQ+ concerns, adjustment difficulties, and process addictions. Derrick uses practical approaches that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also draws on solution-focused and narrative ideas to help people set clear goals and reframe difficult stories about themselves.
In sessions he keeps things direct and goal-centered. Derrick uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. He pairs that with motivational interviewing techniques when someone needs help deciding on change or finding the drive to act.
People can expect short-term, skills-based work alongside conversations about values and life direction. He also incorporates narrative work to look at how past events are given meaning, and solution-focused methods to map small, practical steps forward.
Derrick’s practice covers a wide range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar and panic symptoms, communication problems, aging and geriatric issues, grief, and process addictions. He works in English and is based in Oklahoma. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Derrick commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT focuses on practical exercises and experiments that can be done between sessions to reduce anxiety, depression, and mood-related symptoms.He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their reasons for change and to build internal motivation. This approach is conversational and works well when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next steps.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. Derrick will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying practical CBT techniques, then adjusting if narrative or solution-focused tools fit better.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking.
