Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Welcome! My name is Dericka, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Virginia with 5 years of professional work experience.
I specialize in supporting youth and young adults who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, family conflict, grief and loss, aggression, and depression. I utilize a solution-focused and person-centered approach to help you build practical skills while honoring your unique voice and lived experiences.
In our first few sessions, you can expect a conversational, relaxed therapy style. Together, we’ll explore what has worked for you in the past, your current level of functioning, and your individual learning style. From there, I tailor our work in a way that fits you—creatively and intentionally—because I believe that therapy should never be one-size-fits-all.
My purpose is simple: to help you help yourself. Through skill-building, self-awareness, and meaningful conversation, we’ll work toward your goals and move closer to self-actualization.
So—what are you struggling with right now? And how can we begin applying your strengths toward healing and growth?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
A key advantage is flexibility – clients can choose how to connect with their therapist, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to select the mode that feels most comfortable.
Therapy delivered online can be an effective way to access professional support without changing the quality of care. Licensed professionals conduct these sessions, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they need a different fit.
