About Me
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.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Troy Gibson. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Thank you for the listening ears & insifht. Much appreciated.
Very easy to talk to. Attentive would be the easiest word, but patient is the most important attribute for me.
Troy always responds in a timely manner. He is able to empathize and listen to you.
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 makes me feel comfortable talking with a male he makes me feel like I am OK where I’m at and he greets me with a sense of acceptance as well. I’ve been comfortable with who I am as a person he’s really great
Troy has been an absolute joy. He’s a great listener and has been giving me a better insight of my day to day life. He’s the best :)

Troy is really respectful and is really good at what he does, he really helped me out with the issues I was having from the good conversations we’ve had
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!
