How Troy’s Approaches Work in Online Therapy
Troy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that cause distress. CBT often involves setting clear goals, trying new behaviors between sessions, and tracking progress to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening carefully and offering nonjudgmental support. This approach helps people feel heard and understood as they explore values, choices, and next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Troy works together with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That collaborative process can include combining techniques from different approaches when it seems helpful.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to continue care when schedules or travel make in-person visits harder. Please confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions helpful for shorter check-ins, consistent weekly work, or when they need to join from a quieter place or a break at work. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and client-centered conversations to remote formats while focusing on practical skills and steady progress.
