Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-judgmental stance and prioritizes the client’s experience - the therapist offers empathy and support while helping individuals explore their values and make choices that fit their life. This approach is helpful for people working through relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and transitions where understanding one’s own priorities is key.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is practical and skills-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes by teaching strategies to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.
EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - is a targeted trauma-focused method for processing distressing memories and reducing their hold on daily life; it can be appropriate for those working through traumatic experiences and lingering effects of abuse or disruption.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Troy works with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses to ensure a good match.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit scheduling and comfort. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from different locations, and access supports in ways that fit each person’s daily life.
