About Derrick
Derrick Humphrey is a licensed counselor with 17 years of clinical experience. He is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) and a LIMHP (Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner). Derrick frames his work around practical, goal-focused conversations and invites people to take small, manageable steps toward change.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused methods to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. Derrick also includes spiritual, social, physical, and mental aspects when he and a client map out what’s important to them. Sessions are shaped around each person's situation and goals rather than a single one-size-fits-all plan.
Derrick commonly helps with stress, anxiety, depression, career concerns, low self-esteem, and relationship problems. He also works on communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, men's issues, self-love, and workplace challenges. Conversations aim to be straightforward and actionable so people leave with concrete next steps.
He describes himself as a Christian counselor and makes space for clients who want spiritual themes included in therapy. Derrick adapts the pace and focus based on what someone brings to sessions and the goals they set together.
Starting therapy can feel hard, and Derrick encourages people to notice that taking the first step matters. He asks questions, listens, and helps people build practical tools that fit their everyday life.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It breaks problems into small steps and gives practical exercises to try between sessions, which often works well in an online format. Solution Focused work emphasizes current strengths and quick, goal-directed changes; it concentrates on what is working and what a person wants to do differently soon.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, experiences, and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. This collaborative process includes checking in and adjusting the focus if something isn’t helping.
The profile does not list specific session delivery methods, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, use shorter check-ins during a lunch break, avoid travel time, or choose an appointment that works around work hours. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so progress continues even when meetings are spaced out.
