Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in West Virginia

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist based in southern West Virginia. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who are navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, self-worth challenges, life transitions, and family stressors.

I am especially passionate about helping children and teens develop emotional regulation skills and helping adults build confidence, boundaries, and a stronger sense of identity.

As someone who serves rural communities, I understand the unique pressures families face — close-knit systems, generational patterns, limited resources, and the desire to “handle things on your own.” Therapy with me is a place where you don’t have to carry everything alone.

My Philosophy

I believe people are not “too much” — they are often carrying too much.

Therapy is not about fixing you. It’s about helping you understand yourself, regulate your emotions, and build a life that feels more steady and aligned.

I offer a calm, supportive space where you can feel safe, understood, and accepted just as you are. Using CBT and EMDR, I help clients gently connect the mind and body, make sense of patterns, and work through experiences that feel overwhelming. Therapy is a collaborative process where we move at your pace, building trust, insight, and tools to support healing and meaningful change.

“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” With over 10 years of clinical experience in psychotherapy, my goal is to help others to find the light. Congratulations on taking the hardest step of the journey with seeking help.

With over 25 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating grief and loss, life transitions, chronic illness, trauma (including first responders), aging-related concerns, and members of the agricultural and farming communities.

I provide telehealth services across multiple states, I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.

Hi, I’m Megan Jones, an LPC with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with clarity, confidence, and resilience. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, and depression, providing a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and goals.

With three years of experience, I take an eclectic approach, primarily using client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to tailor sessions to your unique needs. Whether you’re struggling with stress, processing past experiences, or working toward personal growth, I’m here to support you with practical tools and deeper self-understanding.

I currently offer virtual sessions but hope to provide in-person sessions soon. Through Headway, I make therapy more accessible and affordable by working with your insurance.

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.

You might be someone who feels things deeply whether that shows up in your creativity, your work, your relationships, or the way you move through the world. On the outside, you may look like you’re managing, but internally it can feel like anxiety, overwhelm, or past experiences are always just under the surface.

• I work especially well with creatives—artists, musicians, actors—as well as individuals navigating nontraditional paths, including sex work. These spaces often come with unique pressures, emotional intensity, and a need for a therapist who is genuinely nonjudgmental and understands nuance.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, “too much,” or like traditional therapy hasn’t quite fit, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate that on your own.

I am here for you.
