Troy Gibson, LCPC

Troy Gibson is an Illinois licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with ten years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, identity concerns including LGBT stress, addictions, self-esteem problems, and career or life transitions. He also lists intimacy-related issues, anger, family and caregiving stress, and coaching among his focuses.

Troy uses a conversational, strengths-based style in sessions. He leans toward insight-oriented work that helps people notice patterns and make practical changes. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are part of his toolbox to create short-term progress and clearer next steps.

He has worked across settings including inpatient and outpatient hospital units, and in private practice offering individual and couples work. That variety informs his approach to crises, longer-term therapy, and group dynamics. Clients can expect a clinician who asks questions, notices recurring patterns, and suggests experiments between sessions.

Troy draws on psychodynamic ideas and Gestalt influences to look at the origins of problems. He encourages exploring unfinished business and building new awareness. This can help with attachment issues, codependency, and complicated grief.

Sessions aim to balance insight and action. He often combines emotionally-focused thinking with practical solution-building. People who want a direct, talk-forward style that also tests small changes tend to find this a clear fit.
