People who prefer direct, structured therapy often find his style helpful. He combines problem-solving with an emphasis on insight and values. The result is a plan that fits daily routines and long-term goals.

Using CBT and online sessions to build practical skills

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It teaches concrete skills such as thought records, exposure steps for social anxiety, and behavioral activation for low mood to help people change how they feel and act.

In sessions Troy emphasizes straightforward techniques you can practice between meetings. He works collaboratively to pick strategies that match a person's goals and daily routine. Together they track progress and adjust the approach when something is not working, so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls let people keep face-to-face conversation when needed. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, when someone prefers writing, or for following up on skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and other commitments while using the same CBT tools and collaborative planning as in-person care.
