Derrick Singleton

Derrick Singleton is a state-licensed professional counselor in Arkansas with 14 years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of concerns. He has worked with individuals facing depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, substance use challenges, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and has supported many who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse while noting he does not hold a specific trauma certification.

His counseling style is open and interactive, with a directive element when it comes to homework and practical tasks that help clients continue progress between sessions. Derrick approaches everyone with respect, concern, and compassion, avoiding stigmatizing labels and tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique needs.

He draws from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive approaches to create individualized care. Over the years he has worked effectively with teens, young adults, and older adults on issues including depression, anxiety, grief, and transitional life challenges, and he has experience assisting teens with self-development activities, mock interviews, and cases involving probation officers.

Derrick is enthusiastic about the therapeutic relationship and about helping clients take the first steps toward change while supporting them in meeting their goals. He offers counseling by phone, video, and text-based messaging to accommodate different preferences and needs.
