Darius Hampton

Darius Hampton is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHC-A) in North Carolina. Darius graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and graduated with a Master’s degree in Counseling at Appalachian State University in 2025.

He has experience working with children, teens, and young adults. From 2021-2023, he worked as a Registered Behavior Technician helping children and teenagers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In graduate school, he worked for Appalachian State’s ACCESS program, helping and mentoring first-year students adjust to their life on campus.

Additionally, he did his internship at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics in Morganton, NC, as a Wellness Counselor. He also volunteered as a Teen Leader for his church’s teen ministry.

Darius has worked with many issues, including anxiety, depression, life adjustments, stress and anger management, trauma, self-esteem, and peer conflict. Darius understands that while life may throw several curveballs, having someone to listen to, care for, and hold them accountable is a huge benefit in handling life’s craziness. He holds major values in being empathetic over sympathetic, finding a small light in an area of darkness, and building upon the small wins in people’s lives, which translates into his practice. Darius offers a safe, nonjudgmental approach to his practice. He meets clients where they are and believes that they can reach the best versions of themselves. He particularly enjoys working with children, teens, and young adults.

Along with his person-centered approach, Darius takes an integrative therapeutic approach, implementing techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and more.

When Darius is not in the office, he is trying out different food spots and fun places in Charlotte with his friends and family. He loves going to the beach and watching sunsets. In addition, he loves listening to throwback music and childhood shows to make his heart filled with nostalgia. You will also catch him cheering for his favorite football team, the Carolina Panthers.
