About Dericka Dotson
Her work is informed by solution-focused and person-centered approaches, emphasizing practical skill development alongside respectful attention to what has worked for the individual in the past. In the first sessions she adopts a conversational, relaxed style to explore prior coping strategies, current levels of functioning, and each client’s preferred learning style.
From that foundation, she tailors therapeutic work in creative and intentional ways, maintaining the belief that therapy should not be one-size-fits-all. Her purpose is to help clients help themselves through skill-building, growing self-awareness, and meaningful conversation aimed at moving toward stated goals and greater self-actualization.
Dericka invites thoughtful exploration of current struggles and the application of personal strengths toward healing and growth.
