Online support

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify values and goals, and supports self-directed change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors connect and introduces straightforward exercises people can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety or depressive moods.

For people with trauma, Troy includes eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, often called EMDR, as one part of treatment. EMDR sessions use structured processing to help reduce the intensity of painful memories and the reactions they trigger. These approaches are mixed based on each person's needs, and Troy works together with clients to choose what fits best for their goals and comfort level.

Online formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between appointments. These options give flexibility for scheduling, quick follow-ups, and ways to practice skills in daily life.
