Derrick Hurst

Derrick Hurst is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Kansas. He holds LCSW and LSCSW credentials and brings eight years of professional experience to his work. Derrick centers sessions on practical steps clients can use each week. He emphasizes client strengths and partners with people to clarify goals.

Derrick helps with stress, anxiety, and depression. He also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, family concerns, and low self-esteem. Work and wellbeing questions are part of his focus, including motivation and confidence at work and in daily life.

In session he uses straightforward methods drawn from client-centered therapy. He listens first, then helps people pick small, achievable changes. Cognitive behavioral strategies are used when patterns of thinking cause stress or get in the way of goals.

Meditation-based and mindfulness tools are offered to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Solution-focused techniques help people build on what already works and move toward clear steps. Trauma-focused practices are applied carefully when past wounds affect day-to-day functioning.

Derrick frames therapy as a collaborative project. He encourages people to try approaches, notice what helps, and adjust the plan. Taking the first step can feel hard, and he aims to make the process steady and manageable.
