Evidence-Based Support That Fits Online Life
John Troast, LCSW, uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a trauma-informed, non-judgmental way. One approach he draws from is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new coping skills. CBT can be especially useful for concerns like anxiety, stress, panic symptoms, and depression by helping clients build practical tools they can apply between sessions.
His trauma-informed approach also helps create a steady, respectful pace for people working through difficult experiences, including trauma and abuse or post-traumatic stress. This style emphasizes understanding how past events can shape present reactions, while supporting clients in setting goals that feel realistic and meaningful.
Because everyone’s needs are different, finding the right approach is part of the process. John works one-on-one with clients to clarify priorities, coordinate goal-oriented objectives, and revisit those goals over time so therapy stays aligned with what the client wants to change and practice.
Online therapy adds flexibility and access, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats can make it easier to stay consistent, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
