Troy Gibson, LCPC

Troy Gibson is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction concerns, anger, and issues related to intimacy and self-esteem.

He keeps sessions conversational and strengths focused. Troy draws on psychodynamic ideas and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and develop practical ways to respond differently. He also uses Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused approaches to support people working through attachment and relationship strain.

In practice he asks straightforward questions and listens for patterns that show up in daily life. He may help a client trace the origin of a persistent reaction, try brief mindfulness exercises in session, and map out small behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding. Sessions often mix reflection with concrete next steps to try between meetings.

Troy has experience in inpatient and outpatient hospital settings and in private practice. That background informs his balance of short-term problem solving and deeper insight work. He is familiar with minority stress and cultural factors that affect relationships and emotional responses.

People who come with anger, control issues, or hurt from past relationships can expect to examine what keeps those reactions active. The work aims to increase awareness, shift reactive habits, and build alternative strategies for managing strong feelings.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow the standards of his Illinois LCPC credential. If you want to learn more about the process, use the online therapy options to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
