About Troy

Troy Clayton is a licensed mental health practitioner who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people manage stress and anxiety. He brings 10 years of professional experience and works from a straightforward, supportive stance. Troy emphasizes clients' strengths and treats them as the experts on their own lives.

He notes that reaching out for help takes courage and he offers steady support through that process. He commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going.

Background and approach

In sessions he helps people handle relationship and intimacy-related concerns, grief, depression, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. He also addresses self-esteem, coping with life changes, and social anxiety. Troy pays attention to family dynamics and communication problems, including family of origin issues and ongoing family problems.

He also works on forgiveness, guilt and shame, sexuality, and men’s issues when these come up in sessions. The approach is practical and aimed at building skills that can be used between meetings. Sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels.

Troy offers services from his Nebraska license, LMHP 5758, and conducts therapy in English. He does not accept international clients at this time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How Troy Uses CBT Online and What to Expect

Troy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of acting. CBT sessions teach concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, relationship worries, and stress. Exercises and short experiments are often assigned between meetings to build momentum and change habits.

Work in online formats follows the same collaborative model as in person. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit best based on each person’s concerns, goals, and preferences. Treatment choices are made together and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging lets people pick what feels easiest. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and to keep consistent contact when life gets hectic. Online formats also allow for more frequent check-ins and flexible scheduling to support steady progress.

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.
