About Derricia
Derricia Walters is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who practices in Indiana. She brings four years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. Derricia uses straightforward language and practical tools so conversations feel clear and useful.
She centers sessions on the person's own goals and strengths. That means listening first, then choosing strategies together. Derricia commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to reshape unhelpful thoughts and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.
Background and approach
When emotions run high, she draws on skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help people steady themselves and handle impulses. Emotion-focused ideas are part of her work too, helping people name important feelings and improve how they connect with what matters to them. Her approach is collaborative and skills-oriented.
Clients can expect concrete exercises, short homework tasks when helpful, and a steady focus on outcomes that matter in daily life. Derricia pays attention to cultural background and financial stress as factors that shape mental health. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Derricia aims to make therapy practical for people juggling work, school, and daily responsibilities.
Approaches and Online Options for Practical Change
Derricia commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT involves specific exercises and short practice tasks that target problems like anxiety, depression, and difficulties with focus or impulsivity.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These tools are useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when impulsive actions get in the way of goals. Client-centered work underpins both approaches, meaning the therapist listens first and adapts methods to each person's needs.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Derricia will talk with clients about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to pick methods that fit day-to-day life and long-term aims.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is well suited for deeper conversations and skill teaching. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support brief check-ins, homework review, and flexible communication between appointments. These options aim to make therapy more accessible for people with busy schedules.
