About Stalburn

Stalburn VanSluytman brings a psychodynamic foundation to his work, weaving insight into patterns of feeling and behavior with practical strategies to address everyday challenges.

Background and approach

He draws on four decades of clinical experience to help people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders and life transitions, and he includes attention to ADHD among his areas of focus. VanSluytman’s background in Clinical Social Work informs a reflective, relationship-focused stance while also incorporating skills-based tools learned through training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and motivational techniques.

His career began with volunteer service and case management, progressing into substance abuse counseling and an accelerated clinical social work program. After years of agency work and independent practice, he spent a decade as a mental health therapist for the Florida Department of Corrections before retiring in 2014.

Since then he has continued part-time quality review and volunteer activities related to hospice and cancer support, and he remains committed to blending psychodynamic understanding with concrete coping strategies for concerns such as grief, trauma, eating issues, and interpersonal difficulties.

Combining evidence-based methods with online flexibility

Stalburn VanSluytman integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into his online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many daily challenges. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and stress regulation skills that support coping with emotional ups and downs and improve attention and emotional balance.

Finding the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. He works with clients to explore which methods match their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made so the therapy fits individual needs and circumstances.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent work on stress, addictions, mood concerns, ADHD-related difficulties, and life transitions without requiring travel, while still allowing for meaningful therapeutic engagement with a licensed professional.
