As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with more than 17 years of experience in the mental health field, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals across a variety of settings. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Clemson University, a Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling and a Master of Arts in Forensic Psychology from Marymount University. My professional experience includes work in educational settings, vocational rehabilitation, corrections, services for homeless military veterans, and adolescent-focused programs. These diverse experiences allow me to meet clients where they are and tailor treatment to their unique needs and goals.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Upper Marlboro, MD
Searching for therapists in Upper Marlboro starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and training that match your needs. Some therapists highlight approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care, while others focus their bios on who they work with and what a first session may include.
In a smaller city like Upper Marlboro, nearby in-person options may be more limited, so virtual appointments with Maryland therapists can expand your choices. You may also want to consider therapists in surrounding communities like Largo, Bowie, or Mitchellville if location matters. Beyond specialty, review appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. A therapist’s profile can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and approach before you book.
Therapy in Upper Marlboro can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. You can browse therapists, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
