About Derrick
Derrick Humphrey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) in Nebraska with 17 years of professional experience. He describes himself as a Christian counselor and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, career challenges, and depression. He also focuses on communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, men's issues, self-love, and workplace concerns.
Derrick bases his work on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused methods. Sessions typically include straightforward conversation about what is happening now, practical steps to try between meetings, and revisiting what helped or didn’t. He pays attention to how faith and personal values matter to each person and brings that into the plan when clients want it.
He aims to address everyday barriers such as motivation and workplace stress with clear goals and short-term strategies. Many sessions look at patterns of thought and behavior that keep people stuck, then test small changes to see what shifts. Derrick says he adapts the pace and topics to what the client prefers.
The approach combines thinking work with action - adjusting unhelpful thoughts and practicing new skills in real life. He also works on rebuilding self-esteem and handling difficult feelings like guilt and shame without shaming the person. Derrick frames therapy as a practical process: set goals, try steps, review progress.
To begin, Derrick asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and he accepts international clients who speak English.
How evidence-based approaches work remotely
He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and tries small experiments to change them. It can help with anxiety, depression, and persistent guilt by teaching different ways to respond to painful thoughts. Solution-Focused work centers on clear, short-term goals and on finding what already works. It is useful when someone wants practical steps and quick, manageable changes.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Derrick will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the client and therapist decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as needed based on what works in real life.
