Remote therapy with trauma-informed and CBT methods
John Troast delivers a trauma-informed, non-judgmental approach through online sessions that use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside other evidence-based techniques. In remote work he adapts practical, skills-based elements of CBT to help clients notice and shift thought and behavior patterns, and he frames interventions with attention to each person’s history and responses to stress.
Trauma-informed practice means sessions are paced to a client’s tolerance while attending to how past experiences affect current functioning. Troast collaborates with clients to set clear, goal-oriented objectives and revisits those goals regularly to adjust priorities and strategies. This collaborative process is intended to keep sessions focused on concrete next steps and measurable progress.
Online communication options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats are used to provide continuity of care and to match the way a client prefers to engage in therapy.
