About Derrick

Derrick "Woody" Woodbury is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma who focuses on helping people navigate mood, relationship, grief, and adjustment challenges. He has provided private practice services for four years and worked as an independent contractor for eight years, bringing practical experience supporting mild to moderate mood disorders, anger management, grief work, marriage and relationship concerns, men’s issues, LGBTQ+ clients, and adjustment disorders through evidence-informed approaches. His training emphasizes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for addressing patterns of thinking and behavior, and he integrates faith-informed perspectives when clients request that lens. He also draws on solution-focused methods and choice/reality techniques to help clients identify realistic goals and take concrete steps toward change.

Derrick aims to create a collaborative environment where clients and therapist work together on realistic strategies for coping, communication, and personal growth. He presents himself as approachable and goal-oriented, inviting clients who want to explore practical skills, clarify values, and move toward a stronger sense of self. As an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor credential that indicates formal training and state licensure to provide counseling - he focuses on guiding clients toward the best version of themselves through tailored interventions and a respectful therapeutic relationship.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and building practical skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and adjustment difficulties by teaching tools for day-to-day coping and mood regulation. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable steps and the client’s strengths to create forward momentum - it is useful for clients who want concrete goals and rapid progress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental way to increase a person’s own motivation to change; it can help with ambivalence around behavior change, including patterns related to substance use, process addictions, or lifestyle shifts.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative part of Derrick’s work. He partners with clients to explore goals, preferences, and life context and adjusts methods so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model. Together they select techniques that align with the client’s needs and pace.

Online therapy with Derrick offers flexibility - sessions can occur via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage transportation or mobility limits, and maintain continuity of care across life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods effectively in remote formats to support consistent progress.
