Derrick Gibson

Derrick Gibson

Therapist

Virtual • West Virginia


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.

Travis Spradlin

Therapist

Virtual • West Virginia


Hi, I’m Travis Spradlin, a Licensed Professional Counselor in West Virginia. I graduated from Lindsey Wilson College in 2020 with a Master of Education in Counseling and Human Development. I’ve been providing psychotherapy for the past three years and have a passion for helping people find clarity, confidence, and balance in their lives.

I’ve worked with children ages seven and older, using an eclectic approach that combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, play therapy, and humanistic/person-centered techniques. In my telehealth practice, I enjoy working most with adolescents (13 and up) and adults. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered to make meaningful changes. Taking the first step toward therapy is an important act of self-care—and I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you begin that journey!

Happy patient looking away

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 an Addiction Therapist in West Virginia

Searching for therapists in West Virginia starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Across urban and rural parts of the state, available therapists and areas of focus can vary. You may want support for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist who lists experience with your concerns, preferred therapy approaches, or populations they support. A detailed bio can help you understand how they work before you book.

Location and format matter, too. If you are looking for a therapist in Charleston, Morgantown, Huntington, or a nearby community, in-person availability may depend on where you live and how far you want to travel. Virtual appointments can expand your options across West Virginia, especially when local openings are limited. As you narrow your search, review whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Bios can also show communication style, session structure, and what to expect in a first visit.

The cost of therapy in West Virginia can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and book directly when you find a fit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your plan details to check coverage for your location. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and choose someone who matches your needs, schedule, and insurance plan.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741

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