Truitt Grant, LCSW - Therapist in California

About Truitt

Truitt Grant is a licensed clinical social worker in California. He brings eight years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and depression, and struggles with addiction. He focuses on practical steps and clear conversation to help people move forward.

Truitt talks plainly and aims to make the first steps less intimidating for someone seeking help. Clients will find a calm, straightforward approach in sessions.

Background and approach

Truitt centers the conversation on each person’s needs and strengths rather than on labels. He listens first, then works with people to set small, achievable goals they can try between meetings. Progress is viewed as a series of manageable steps rather than a quick fix.

He uses a mix of techniques drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy. That blend helps with mood regulation, coping skills, and changing unhelpful thoughts and habits. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are also part of his work when people want clear, goal-oriented support.

Truitt also attends to issues like relationship and family stress, intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, and career-related transitions. He is familiar with multicultural concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, and the effects of isolation or compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.

Therapy sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and scheduling, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person leads the conversation. It helps when someone needs a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to sort out feelings and priorities.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior. It is practical and skill-based, useful for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and changing unhelpful patterns.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It is often used when people struggle with impulsivity, intense mood swings, or difficulty regulating emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Truitt will work with each person to choose or combine methods based on their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in early sessions. The plan can change as progress unfolds so the work stays relevant.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations from home, while phone sessions offer a simpler audio option. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short, on-the-go check-ins and a way to continue skills between meetings. These options aim to increase flexibility and make consistent care more reachable.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
