About Derricia
Derricia Walters is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing from Indiana. She brings four years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. Derricia uses approachable language and tangible tools so people can take small steps forward between appointments.
She favors a person-centered style that starts with the client's goals and builds on their strengths. Derricia combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when helpful, and she integrates mindfulness practices into sessions. This mix is aimed at teaching coping skills for anxiety, impulsivity, and mood concerns.
Derricia also pays attention to issues that often come up for young adults and working people, like workplace stress, communication problems, isolation, and money and financial issues. She can help people untangle habits and reactions that get in the way of daily life and routines.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. Sessions often include skill-building, focused conversations, and homework that supports change outside of the session. She will work with each person to set clear, manageable goals.
Derricia holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and is listed as LMHC. She also notes counseling compact privileges in Minnesota and Ohio. Her services are offered in English and she does not take international clients.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Derricia often uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a collaborative, supportive relationship where the client's goals guide each session. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what matters to you, and shaping work around your priorities.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to teach practical skills for anxiety and depression. CBT tends to use short exercises and homework that translate well to online work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotion regulation, impulsivity, or interpersonal stress are central concerns; these skills include breathing, grounding, and step-by-step coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life needs. That collaborative decision helps shape what happens from the first session onward.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fewer travel barriers, which can make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Online work can also support the use of digital worksheets, brief check-ins between sessions, and homework that fits into a busy week.
