How sessions work
How Troy’s approaches translate to online work
Troy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in his work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anger triggers, anxiety, and mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, reflection, and collaboration so clients can make sense of their feelings and set their own goals.He also brings in mindfulness practices to help people notice impulses and pause before reacting. Mindfulness exercises are short and practical, useful for daily stressors and for managing moments of high frustration.
Finding the best way to work together is part of the process. Troy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what techniques feel most useful. That collaborative discussion guides whether sessions emphasize skills practice, trauma processing, or a mix of methods.
The exact online session formats supported should be confirmed before booking. Ask about available session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice techniques in their everyday environment without rearranging major parts of life.
