Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
In online sessions, Derrick integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to address a range of concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and teaches practical skills to change behaviors and manage symptoms, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes setting clear, achievable goals and building on strengths and small changes, which can be particularly effective for relationship issues, motivation, and problem-solving.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Derrick works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. He listens to goals, preferences, and the challenges presented, then adapts methods so sessions feel purposeful and aligned with the client’s needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging let people connect from different settings and schedules. These options support consistent care, allow for varied communication styles, and make it easier to access licensed professionals when in-person visits are difficult. Derrick uses these formats to maintain a focused, interactive therapeutic experience that supports progress over time.
