How Truitt’s Approaches Work Online

Truitt commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered approaches in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors so people can reduce anxiety, panic, and depressive patterns. Client-centered methods emphasize listening, validation, and building on a person’s strengths to help them make meaningful changes.

He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. DBT skills teach practical ways to manage intense emotion, handle crisis moments, and improve relationships through clearer communication and boundaries.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a team effort. Truitt will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will try different methods to find what helps most. That collaborative process means sessions can focus on symptom reduction one week and on values or life purpose the next, depending on what the client needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill teaching, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and chat or text can support ongoing coaching and brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules while keeping care consistent.
