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!

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.

Now more than ever people are feeling anxious, detached, and overwhelmed by the demands of life, how to sustain healthy relationships, keep work-life balance, or simply find meaning in their daily lives. My hope is to guide you through the process, offering adaptable skills and insights along the way.

As a clinical psychologist, I believe in a whole-person approach to psychotherapy and hope to provide a space where you can explore your experiences without judgment and regain a sense of strength and purpose. Seeking help can be one of the hardest first steps, and the therapy room can be a place to pause, reflect, and begin to heal. Let's get this process started!
