Derrick Gibson

Derrick Gibson

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


My name is Derrick C. Gibson — Licensed Professional Counselor, Elder at Brookside Ministry Church of God in Christ International, and someone who has spent his career showing up for people that many systems had already written off. I hold dual Master's degrees in Guidance and Counseling and Education from the University of Wisconsin-Stout, and my work has taken me deep into Kanawha County, West Virginia — into the schools, into the judicial system, and into the lives of families navigating some of the hardest circumstances imaginable. I've worked with domestic abuse survivors, sexual abuse survivors, at-risk youth, and individuals managing anger — not from a distance, but up close, with real investment in real outcomes. I also serve as a Christian Counselor, which means faith is not a footnote in my practice — it's woven into the foundation. If you're looking for a counselor who brings both clinical training and a grounded spiritual perspective, you've found one.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Gaithersburg, MD

Searching for therapists in Gaithersburg starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match what you want to address. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or other forms of support.

Gaithersburg has local therapy options, but availability can vary across nearby areas like Kentlands, Lakeforest, and other parts of Montgomery County. Virtual therapy can expand your search while keeping care connected to a Maryland-licensed therapist. As you narrow your options, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading each bio before booking can also give you a clearer sense of communication style, clinical focus, and what a first session may look like.

Therapy in Gaithersburg can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for specific therapists in Gaithersburg and see available virtual or in-person appointments. You can review profiles, enter your insurance details for an upfront cost estimate, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
