Troy Payne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who earned a Master’s degree in Social Work (MSW) from Capella University in 2019. He is licensed in Virginia - VA LCSW 0904019349 and brings 6 years of clinical experience.
He has worked with individuals of all ages experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, self-harm, and suicide ideation, and he has a particular interest in supporting people whose lives are being negatively affected by traumatic events.
Troy draws from a broad range of therapeutic approaches to help clients reach their goals, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Restructuring, Narrative Exposure, and Motivational Interviewing (MI). He adapts these methods to fit each person’s needs and priorities.
He believes that all individuals are capable of growth and that the therapist’s role is to provide a trusting, safe, and supportive environment to facilitate that growth.
Outside of work, Troy enjoys cooking (never had any complaints!), gardening, exercising, and spending time with family and friends.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the clearest advantages is flexibility - you can connect in the way that feels most comfortable, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. That range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into daily life.
All therapists working online are licensed professionals, and if a particular therapeutic match isn’t right, you can switch to a different therapist at any time.
