Many of Derrick’s sessions use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related concerns.He also uses Narrative Therapy to help clients rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. This approach can shift how people see events, relationships, and roles, which often reduces shame and opens new possibilities.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Derrick works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress is made. That collaboration helps keep sessions focused and relevant.
