About Derricia

Derricia Walters is a licensed mental health counselor who builds practical plans with the people she sees. She brings four years of clinical experience and focuses on helping clients manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. Derricia works with clear, down-to-earth language and aims to make therapy feel manageable for everyday life.

She takes a person-centered stance in her sessions, which means she listens first and shapes the work around each person’s goals.

Background and approach

Derricia also uses Narrative Therapy to help clients rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are added when clients want concrete tools for thoughts and behaviors. Sessions tend to focus on strengths and small, achievable steps.

Derricia helps people notice patterns, try out new ways of coping, and track what works. She also addresses related concerns like communication problems, impulsivity, loneliness, money stress, and workplace issues. Her approach can include emotion regulation skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and relationship-focused ideas from Emotionally-Focused Therapy when those fit the goals.

Mindfulness techniques and brief experiential activities may also appear in sessions. Derricia explains techniques simply and helps clients practice between appointments. Derricia is based in Indiana and holds the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, LMHC.

She speaks English and offers care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging for people located in the U.S.

Online session options

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Many of Derricia's sessions draw on Narrative Therapy, which helps people separate themselves from unhelpful stories and look for alternative meanings. This approach can be useful for people feeling stuck by one negative identity or past labels.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a trusting, respectful space where the client's goals guide the work. That approach is helpful for people who want someone to listen deeply and then shape support around their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used selectively, offers practical steps to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and can help with anxiety, panic, and mood changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Derricia will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration means trying options, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan if needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls let people meet face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers audio only. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between longer appointments.
