E. Troy Nielsen holds LMHC and LCMHC licenses and brings a respectful, compassionate attitude to sessions. He aims to create a calm, direct space to talk through problems and build new skills.

People meet him to sort through immediate worries, make sense of recurring habits, and set small, achievable goals. He emphasizes clear steps and real-world strategies so progress can be felt between appointments.

How CBT and online sessions work together

CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In plain terms it helps people spot thinking patterns that increase anxiety or low mood and then try new behaviors to change those patterns. This approach is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with motivation or self-esteem.

Sessions are collaborative - the therapist and client choose techniques together based on current needs and goals. Over time they test what helps most and adjust the plan, so the work reflects the person's preferences and life situation.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows fuller interaction and visual cues, phone can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited, chat suits quick reflections or notes between appointments, and messaging can support ongoing practice and prompts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to try different ways of communicating as needs change.
