About Derricia
Derricia Walters is a licensed mental health counselor with four years of clinical experience. She earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and is continuing doctoral work in counselor education and supervision. Derricia aims to make therapy practical and approachable for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, or low self-esteem.
Derricia draws on a client-centered way of working to help people build useful skills. She blends that with cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and change them.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices are also part of her toolbox when they match a client’s needs. In sessions she focuses on clear goals and small steps. People can expect help with things like impulsivity, communication problems, workplace stress, and navigating social anxiety.
Derricia also supports those managing attention differences and mood challenges who want concrete strategies. Her approach is collaborative. She listens first, then suggests techniques the client can try between sessions.
Progress is tracked in simple ways so people can see what helps. Derricia offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging sessions. She works from Indiana and holds Indiana LMHC credentials.
Sessions are conducted in English and are arranged through an online matching and scheduling process.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and following a person’s goals. Online sessions give space for someone to describe what matters most while the therapist reflects and helps clarify next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses simple exercises to change them. In remote work, CBT tools like thought records and behavior experiments can be assigned between sessions and reviewed by video or messaging.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Derricia will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs and preferences. Goals, comfort with different formats, and day-to-day pressures guide which techniques are used and when to adjust them.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and longer sessions. Phone calls require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, on-the-go skill practice, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while using approaches like CBT, DBT skills, and mindfulness in daily life.
