People who choose him can expect a collaborative tone. He works to create a respectful atmosphere where clients can test new ways of relating, cope with life changes, and build more resilience over time.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Troy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying small behavioral experiments to change how someone feels and acts. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience, emphasizing empathy, listening, and helping people find their own solutions.He also incorporates elements of mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. Together these approaches can address anxiety, depression, codependency, and stress by combining practical skills with supportive reflection. Determining the right mix is part of early sessions, and the therapist will collaborate with each person to match approaches to their goals and preferences.
