About

Stalburn VanSluytman developed an interest in individual and social psychology while an undergraduate at Howard University in the late 1960s, and he volunteered with several nonprofit agencies in the Washington DC area while working his way through school.

After earning a degree in sociology, he took federal clerical positions that involved number-crunching but soon moved into direct service work because he wanted to work with people. He began a career in case management and substance abuse counseling in New York City, where a program director recommended him for a special accelerated graduate program in clinical social work at Adelphi University.

The clinical degree marked his transition into a more research-oriented and specialized phase of practice, responding to social changes such as the rise in substance use, the HIV epidemic, and the increasing prevalence of two-paycheck households. He relocated to Florida in the 1990s, adapted to a new regional culture, and worked for several respected agencies while also maintaining a successful independent practice.

Stalburn spent his final ten years of employment as a mental health therapist with the Florida Department of Corrections before retiring in 2014. Over a forty-year career he has worked with individuals and groups from diverse backgrounds and has addressed a wide variety of concerns. He has also presented at schools and churches on emotional disorders and on identifying symptoms in students.

His foundational clinical training is in a psychodynamic approach, and he also trained in cognitive behavioral therapy. He served as a certified trainer and supervisor for master’s-level therapists in the use of CBT. Since retirement he has done part-time quality-control work for a community mental health center and volunteered with Big Brothers/Big Sisters, a local hospice center, and the American Cancer Society, though those volunteer activities have been on hold since the emergence of the COVID pandemic.

He is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker qualified to provide independent therapeutic services (LCSW, license SW4378) and is based in Florida.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people wonder whether virtual counseling truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adjusting to life changes, research has shown that online therapy can be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care. A major benefit is flexibility - clients can meet with licensed professionals in the way that fits their lives best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy schedule and to reach care when attending in-person appointments is difficult. Therapists who provide online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they need a different fit. The range of communication methods and the availability of licensed therapists help many people access consistent, useful support for everyday mental health concerns.
