Background and approach
Derricia also addresses related concerns like panic attacks, social anxiety, isolation, and problems at work. Her work draws on somatic ideas alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques. Somatic approaches help people notice how their body holds emotion, while CBT and DBT offer tools for changing thoughts and responses.
She blends these with client-centered listening to meet each person's pace. Derricia pays attention to cultural context and money or financial stress when they affect well-being. She also supports people dealing with impulsivity, communication breakdowns, phobias, and self-harm thoughts by creating step-by-step plans and coping skills.
Sessions are offered in English and based in Indiana. Derricia holds Indiana LMHC credential IN LMHC 39005938A and maintains compact privileges in other states as noted. She aims to walk alongside people as they learn new habits and reach clearer goals.
How body-focused and skills-based care works online
Somatic work helps people notice physical signals tied to emotions and stress. Online sessions can guide gentle body awareness, breath work, and grounding exercises to reduce tension and reactivity. These practices are useful for anxiety, panic symptoms, and somatization concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with clearer ones. It includes practical exercises and homework to change patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. This approach often pairs well with somatic noticing to link body responses and thoughts.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Adjustments happen over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer shorter check-ins or written reflection. The variety lets people continue work between sessions and practice skills where they live.
