Derrick Woodbury, LPC - Therapist in Oklahoma

About Derrick

Derrick Woodbury is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma. He brings 16 years of experience to his work and offers practical support for common parenting and family concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and relationship strain. He uses straightforward language and aims to help parents find clearer ways forward when daily life feels overwhelming.

Derrick typically uses short-term, goal-focused methods that parents can apply between sessions.

Background and approach

He leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and Narrative Therapy to reframe personal stories. In sessions he often focuses on problem-solving, building new routines, and improving communication patterns.

Derrick keeps things practical: set small goals, try one new habit, and check what works. He also addresses issues like trauma, grief, mood shifts, and parenting stress with steps that are concrete and repeatable. Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and are arranged via a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Derrick works in English and does not take international clients. To begin, a short questionnaire helps match needs and schedules a first appointment.

Practical therapy methods for online family support

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot thoughts that make stress or mood worse and replace them with more useful ways of thinking. It is often used for anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and mood regulation by teaching simple skills to practice between sessions.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on your own reasons for change. The therapist asks questions that help you find motivation and commit to small steps. This approach is helpful when someone feels stuck or unsure about taking the next step.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. Derrick will talk through goals, try different approaches, and adjust plans based on what fits the client's needs and preferences. The process is collaborative and paced to what a parent or caregiver can manage in daily life.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy families. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, phone sessions work when screens are impractical, and live chat or text-based messaging provide ongoing check-ins and brief support between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling family schedules and responsibilities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
