About Troy
He brings 16 years of experience in mental health and a background that includes community outreach and founding an addiction recovery program. His work combines approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and elements of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Sessions focus on building skills for emotion regulation, improving communication, and addressing family-of-origin issues that affect daily life.
Troy balances a direct, goal-focused style with empathy and acceptance. He leans on assessment experience when clearer information helps shape a plan. That can mean looking at patterns, testing what works in real life, and adjusting strategies as progress is made.
Common topics he addresses include trauma and abuse, substance and alcohol concerns, codependency, abandonment and attachment issues, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress. He also supports people dealing with body image, control struggles, and co-occurring problems.

How Troy’s Approaches Fit into Online Therapy
Troy draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is practical and often focuses on small skills people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening, acceptance, and the client’s own goals. That approach helps people feel heard and find their own solutions at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Troy works collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Early sessions typically clarify what matters most, then pick strategies to try and evaluate over time.
If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose whether they prefer video or audio when those options are offered. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and client-centered methods to virtual meetings so people can continue progress without changing their routines.
