About Derricia
Derricia Walters is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana with four years of clinical experience. She introduces herself warmly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her style centers on listening first and then building skills together.
Many come to her feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or low self-esteem and want straightforward tools. She blends a person-centered stance with evidence-based techniques. That means conversations start with what matters most to the client and then move to specific strategies.
How Derricia works
These include cognitive-behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thinking, mindfulness practices to manage strong emotions, and elements of dialectical behavior work for impulse control. She also pays attention to cultural background and money-related stress when those issues show up. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused.
Derricia helps people identify small, achievable steps and build routines that fit their life. She works on communication problems, workplace strain, social anxiety, panic, phobias, and challenges common in young adulthood. Her approach also supports people coping with anger, ADHD-related difficulties, isolation, and somatic symptoms.
When needed, she uses narrative ideas to reframe personal stories and reduce shame. Derricia encourages experimentation - trying a skill, reviewing what worked, and adjusting as needed. Overall sessions are practical and down-to-earth.
She prefers plain language and real-world solutions over clinical jargon. Derricia invites people to take one manageable step toward feeling more in control and connected.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows what matters most to the client and helps draw out their strengths, which works well over video or phone when honest conversation is the goal.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises. Online sessions can include guided worksheets, in-the-moment practice, and homework between meetings to track progress on anxiety, depression, panic, or phobias.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation and managing impulses. Skills coaching can be done in a live chat or text message for quick support, and longer sessions via video or phone allow skills practice and problem solving.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try strategies, and adjust the plan together. Clients help shape which methods are used based on what feels most effective for them.
Online therapy formats provide practical benefits. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and guiding exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief skill coaching, daily check-ins, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy routine.
