About Troy
He brings 16 years of clinical experience and a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology. His work combines practical strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a client-centered focus that keeps the person's goals front and center. He also uses Mindfulness practices and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when appropriate.
Troy draws on experience in assessment and community work, including co-founding an addiction recovery program. In sessions he balances a direct, goal-oriented approach with acceptance and non-judgment. That mix helps people move from feeling stuck to trying different, manageable steps.
When someone is dealing with family conflict, attachment wounds, or the fallout of trauma and abuse, he breaks concerns down into concrete goals and small experiments to try between meetings. He also supports work on codependency, communication problems, control issues, and rebuilding after separation.
The therapist frames progress as a team effort. He helps people clarify what matters most, then chooses tools that fit those aims. Prospective clients in South Carolina can expect straightforward language and practical plans when they begin.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says, offering acceptance and reflection so goals emerge from the client's priorities. This approach helps when people need a space to sort feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical experiments and skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anger, anxiety, and depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to address distress linked to upsetting memories by processing those memories in ways that can reduce their emotional charge.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients try methods, discuss what feels helpful, and adjust the plan to match goals and preferences. That collaborative process means the approach can change as progress is made.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness practice or CBT homework between meetings to build progress into daily life. Licensed professionals tailor sessions to what will best support the client's goals.
