About Stalburn
Stalburn VanSluytman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 40 years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, depression, grief, and life changes. He also addresses relationship concerns, eating and parenting issues, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and LGBT topics.
He trained in clinical social work after undergraduate studies in sociology and early volunteer work in the Washington DC area. His early career included substance abuse counseling and case management in New York City. That background led him into a mix of research-informed and practical clinical work as social needs and public health issues changed over the decades.
VanSluytman spent many years working across community agencies and in private practice before moving to Florida in the 1990s. He later worked as a mental health therapist for the Florida Department of Corrections and retired from that role in 2014. Since retirement he has contributed to community organizations and quality-control work for a community mental health center.
His approach blends psychodynamic ideas with cognitive methods and motivational interviewing. He has trained and supervised masters-level clinicians in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In sessions he focuses on identifying patterns, building practical coping skills, and clarifying what a person wants to change.
People who reach out often want straightforward, practical help for everyday pressures. He brings decades of field experience and a preference for clear, problem-focused conversations that connect past experience to current choices.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Stalburn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy alongside motivational interviewing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and teaches concrete skills to change them. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on paying steady attention to present-moment experience and can help with anxiety, stress, and emotion regulation. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to clarify what matters to a person and to build motivation for change, which is often used in addiction and behavior-change work.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend strategies to try. That plan can change over time as progress is reviewed and new priorities emerge.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to meet from different locations and continue work when relocation or other life events make in-person visits harder. Licensed professionals adapt pace, homework, and skills practice to the online setting so the work stays practical and focused.
