About Stalburn
Stalburn VanSluytman uses a mix of psychodynamic insight and practical strategies. He draws on four decades of clinical work to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, mood problems, and life transitions. Stalburn provides straightforward support for everyday struggles like parenting stress, grief, relationship strain, and issues tied to identity and self-esteem.
He began studying social behavior as an undergraduate at Howard University and moved into hands-on counseling while working with nonprofit agencies.
Background and approach
A clinical social work degree from Adelphi University led him into both research-informed practice and direct services in substance use and mental health. He later spent a decade providing therapy within the Florida Department of Corrections before retiring from full-time employment in 2014.
Across his career he has led group and individual work, delivered presentations at schools and churches about emotional disorders, and supervised masters-level clinicians in cognitive behavioral methods. His background includes volunteer roles with hospice, cancer services, and youth mentoring programs. These experiences inform a practical, person-centered approach in sessions.
In therapy he combines psychodynamic ideas about life history and patterns with cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing to set clear, manageable goals. Sessions focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings, of course adapted to each person’s situation. The aim is to help people reduce distress and build sustainable coping skills.
Stalburn is a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, practicing from Florida. He offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Stalburn commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based methods when working with people. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, or low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower stress and help people respond rather than react to strong emotions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. Together they try techniques and adjust plans when something does not fit or needs refinement.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work on these approaches. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a good option when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between appointments, track progress, or get brief support during a busy day. These options help people keep therapy consistent while fitting sessions into work, home, and caregiving routines.
