Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care
Troy often uses client-centered methods that focus on the person's own goals and values, creating space to talk and reflect while the therapist follows the client's lead. This approach helps people clarify what matters and decide next steps.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and uses simple exercises to test different behaviors and reduce unhelpful patterns. For clients with trauma-related symptoms, he incorporates EMDR techniques to help reduce distress tied to difficult memories.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Troy will discuss options, try methods that fit your goals, and adjust the plan based on progress and preference. He treats therapy as a collaborative process where choices are reviewed and changed as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options let people fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. Phone or chat can be shorter check-ins, while video makes it easier to use visual cues and worksheets. The variety supports continuity of care and makes it easier to keep therapy consistent despite a busy schedule.
