About Troy

Troy Gibson is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with 10 years of experience in mental health counseling. He has worked with a wide array of concerns including trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem struggles, relationship issues, and minority stress or minority trauma. He brings a culturally sensitive perspective and attention to multicultural factors when supporting clients from diverse backgrounds.

His clinical background spans inpatient and outpatient hospital units where he provided individual and group therapy, as well as private practice work offering individual and couples therapy. This range of settings has informed a flexible, strengths-based approach that blends conversational ease with insight-driven work. He describes his style as conversational, strengths-based, insight-oriented, and often approachable and even fun.

Troy integrates therapeutic methods drawn from Gestalt therapy and incorporates Solution-Focused and mindfulness interventions to help clients explore the origins of their difficulties, gain new awareness, identify patterned behaviors, and address unfinished business. He aims to collaborate with each person to develop practical strategies for change and to promote self-empowerment. He values the courage it takes to begin therapy and stands ready to support and empower clients as they pursue their goals. He often cites Fred Rogers: "When we talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary."

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a collaborative, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client's experience guides the work. This approach helps people who need validation, support in building self-trust, and a space to explore personal goals. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and reshaping patterns in emotional responses and relationship interactions. It is helpful for individuals and couples working through attachment-related concerns, intimacy challenges, and communication breakdowns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches skills to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment and to respond rather than react. These practices can reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and support coping with anxiety, grief, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. Troy works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and tailors methods accordingly, adjusting strategies over time to find the best fit. The therapeutic plan evolves based on what is most helpful for the client.

Online therapy with Troy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and reduces travel barriers. These options allow consistent access to therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments, and enable ongoing work on skills, insight, and relationship patterns with licensed professionals who can support progress remotely.
