More about me

Licensing: MA, LCPC, NCC Years in Practice: 8 State: Illinois

I hope this finds you well.

I am a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in IL with many years of experience working in mental health counseling. I have worked with a diverse range of clients dealing with a variety of concerns including trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem, as well as relationship concerns. I have also helped many clients experiencing minority stress and or minority trauma. I approach therapy with a sensitivity and predilection for multicultural factors.

I have varied experience in multiple settings, including providing individual and group therapy at an inpatient hospital unit and an outpatient hospital unit; as well as providing individual and couples therapy at a private practice. I would describe my style as conversational, strengths based, insight-oriented, and fun. I am dedicated to creating a safe space for us to explore and gain insight while promoting self empowerment.

My clinical approach draws from Gestalt therapy and also incorporates Solution-Focused and mindfulness interventions. With me you can expect to be challenged to explore the origin of your problems, develop new awareness, identify pattern behaviors, work through unfinished business and create new strategies for change. Overall, I want to meet you where you’re at and collaborate to make sure our time together works best for you and your needs.

I value your courage in taking the next steps on your path to wellness. When you are ready, I am here to support and empower you along your journey.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Troy has been very insightful and asks great questions. He also gives suggestions on ways to avoid certain situations or clarify conversations so that they are more productive. Great experience so far.

Troy is a great listener and always gives good feedback. He does a good job of making you see things from a different perspective. My personal experience with him has helped me process life traumas with my medical history, relationships, and my own personal biases. He’s a nice guy and is always professional.

Troy is diligent, empathetic and does excellent work . For anyone looking to find effective therapy, I highly recommend reaching out.

Troy is incredibly intelligent and insightful. He approaches every situation and conversation with a mile-mannered, fully-thought out state of mind. His responses are well thoughtout, calming and comforting.

Troy offers an environment where I can work through all of my concerns…as many times as it will take. His patience and empathy seem inexhaustible.

Troy was an incredible therapist. He helped me work through my divorce and depression because of the marriage. He provided me with ways to reflect on the past and how to move beyond the past. I did not think therapy would work for me until I met Troy. I would highly recommend Troy to anyone trying to figure out how to cope with a situation and how to look forward to the future.

Very excellent insight and helps to gain clear perspective. I would recommend for anyone whatever the thing you're dealing with.

Troy, you’re amazing. Thank you.

Troy is a great listener. He gives great feedback and always suggests ways to help me cope with the pain of a bad break up.

Awesome and continued to check in on me

very insightful and caring

Troy Gibson has proven to be a fantastic ally in my therapeutic journey. Their keen listening skills coupled with their empathetic nature have created a safe and welcoming environment where I feel understood and validated, never judged. Their consistent check-ins show their deep commitment to my well-being and progress. As a special education teacher, I deeply appreciate their approach to creating a tailored treatment plan. Even though we haven't yet implemented evidence-based interventions, the process of getting to know me and having me complete a goal-setting worksheet suggests that we're moving in that direction. This approach mirrors my own teaching method, where understanding my students is the first step towards developing personalized goals and strategies. Though I've only been working with Troy for a short time, their understanding, supportive guidance, and methodical approach, I have no problem recommending Troy Gibson to anyone in need of a compassionate, dedicated, and thoughtful therapist.

Troy was fantastic and a great listener. Always offered next steps and things to try. Thankful for my experience with him

I have been working with Troy for nine months. His guidance and conversations are always helpful. I highly recommend working with Troy. His communication is reliable and his expertise is highly valuable. I plan to continue working with him.

Troy listens to me like no other, helps me find real solutions in my life, and has helped me grow in ways I could only once imagine. I'm so happy to work with him and I always look forward to our sessions. He makes the tough stuff easier.

Is an attentive listener and will draw back to old sessions as a relevant reference to current topics.

They’re great

Very easy to talk to. Attentive would be the easiest word, but patient is the most important attribute for me.

Troy is a very good listener! He's helped me through some of my stessers !

Troy is an amazing therapist. He’s an attentive listener, helps take apart situations, evaluate everything. He makes situations easier to approach. He educates me. I’ve learned so much and grown everyday. I’m very thankful for my therapist and would recommend him to anyone.

Troy is an awesome listener and responder! He’s helped me reframe my negative thoughts in ways that have lead to more productive living.

Troy has been a very understanding person especially with how I disappear for long stints of time. He has always responded fairly quickly, within a day usually. And his advice is always sound. Overall I would say he has done a good job and it’s nice to be able to talk about how things are going without judgement

Troy is an exceptionally wonderful therapist he makes me feel heard and valid and really validates my experience as a person of color and as a woman.

Troy Gibson has been a reliable counselor. He gives me resources and is understanding of my concerns and overall has benefitted my well-being.

Troy is so detailed oriented and really understanding. I love working with him. We all need a Troy on our side when we feel in over our heads.

Troy is encouraging and insightful. He gives me ideas for my difficult situations, but is understanding when I have a bad day.

i am thankful for troy’s responses

Troy's insight and suggestions were valuable as my counselor and when I need the service again, I already indicated that I'd like to work with Troy again. Troy did his job by providing added perspective to my scenarios and offering tools to help overcome some hurdles.

Troy is a great counselor! He is very attentive and offers great insight during our sessions. He creates a comfortable environment without judgement or bias. Overall an outstanding professional!

Troy has been very helpful and kind to me during this stressful time in my life. Troy's messages are always thought provoking and shows that I'm really being heard. If we have stopped communicating for more than a few days, Troy will send me a message checking in on me, which reopens the dialogue that I find helpful (as sometimes I run out of things to say and don't know how to transition from one topic to another).

Troy has been a huge resource to me! I finally feel like I'm becoming myself again. Thanks Troy!

Troy has a very respectful way of helping to process and work through events. He is encouraging and explains things in a positive way. He provides great advice and strategies. He also challenges when needed. He is great at validating feelings.

Troy has been an excellent help to me. He has listened carefully and provided excellent counsel based on the issues I’m dealing with. I’ve been to a local counselor, but I didn’t get very far after a few months of counseling. Troy has helped me get to the core issues and helped me learn how to actively work through them in a couple weeks. I thoroughly appreciate his counsel.

Troy had been great at helping me navigate my feelings during a difficult period of decisions and changes in my life. Even when I'm not reaching out to him he checks in to see how I'm doing. Just having someone supportive and unbiased to talk through my feelings and anxiety with has been incredibly helpful.

I love the sessions I have with Troy! I feel that he's very relatable and can help you with your counseling needs!
