About Travis

Travis Scott is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on family and parenting-related concerns and many personal struggles. He uses clear, direct conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with self-esteem. He invites clients to name what matters most to them and builds practical steps from there.

Travis holds licenses as an LCSW and an LISW and brings ten years of professional experience. He believes people already have strengths and that therapy can help connect those strengths to real change.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be down-to-earth and focused on everyday problems rather than jargon. In practical terms, he draws from therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful patterns and build clearer choices. He also uses EMDR when trauma memories are part of the picture and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment control.

Travis works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and family issues, grief, addictions, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and intimacy-related problems. He pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes, blended family dynamics, body image, and caregiver stress. Sessions are offered in English and Travis practices in New Mexico.

He sees therapy as collaborative - clients and therapist decide together what to try and what to change. The tone is supportive and practical with an emphasis on small, manageable steps.

How specific approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping clients clarify their values and take small actions that match those values. It is useful when people feel stuck or overwhelmed and want a clearer sense of direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. In sessions clients learn simple strategies to change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors between meetings to see what helps. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used when traumatic memories cause ongoing distress. It helps the brain process painful memories so they become less triggering and allows people to move forward. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Travis will collaborate with each person to decide which method or combination fits their needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made and new challenges appear. Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to keep momentum between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver ACT, CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness exercises effectively, helping people practice skills in the flow of daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
