About Derrick
Derrick Hurst is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) practicing in Kansas. He has eight years of professional experience helping people handle stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. Derrick focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel less overwhelmed at home and work.
Derrick works from the belief that a person knows their own story best. He uses that starting point to build straightforward plans for change. Sessions tend to center on clear goals, everyday coping skills, and checking what actually works in a person’s life. He blends conversation with simple exercises you can try between meetings.
People come to him for help with relationship conflict, caregiving strain, anger, depression, and the aftermath of traumatic events. He also supports those dealing with life transitions, midlife questions, and struggles with purpose. Derrick lists attention to issues often raised by men, LGBT people, and people with ADHD as part of his focus areas.
His approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused work. That mix is used to reduce distress, reorganize unhelpful thinking, and build practical routines.
Sessions aim to be direct and manageable. Derrick emphasizes small, measurable steps and regular check-ins so progress can be tracked. To begin, users are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you. In an online setting that looks like guided conversation where the therapist checks understanding and helps you set practical goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems down into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short exercises to change patterns. Online sessions can include homework such as thought records or behavior experiments to try during the week and then review together.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Derrick will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and daily routines. That means trying methods, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan based on what a person needs and prefers.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or making it easier to schedule sessions around caregiving and other obligations. These practical advantages can make it simpler to keep a regular rhythm of meetings and follow-up work.
