About Troy

Troy is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in South Carolina with 16 years of experience.
How Troy works
He earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology and has worked in community outreach, including co-founding an addiction recovery program. Those experiences inform a down-to-earth style that balances clear goals with empathetic listening. In sessions he combines client-centered approaches with cognitive behavioral strategies and other methods to address patterns of thinking and behavior.
He also uses EMDR for people who have unresolved trauma and draws on mindfulness practices to build coping skills. The aim is to pick tools that match each person’s situation and pace. Troy often focuses on practical problem solving - improving communication, managing urges, coping with loss, and reducing panic or constant worry.
He also helps people look at family of origin issues, attachment concerns, and blended family stress in ways they can act on between sessions. Therapy includes clear steps and homework when helpful, and attention to real-life pressures like parenting demands, caregiving stress, and recovery from substance-related problems.
Troy aims to create respectful sessions where people can be honest, try new strategies, and track progress over time.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online care
Troy commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy when working with people online. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and building a collaborative relationship so people can find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage moods, and change unhelpful habits.He also uses EMDR to address unresolved trauma for people who may benefit from that approach; EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories through a structured processing method. Choosing which approaches to use is a shared process - Troy works with each person to identify goals, try options, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process is part of early sessions so the direction fits the client's needs and preferences.
Online therapy with Troy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for longer sessions and visual cues, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat makes for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or recovery schedules while keeping focus on the work people want to do.
