Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Troika Jackson-Grillo draws from attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach helps clients understand relationship dynamics, attachment wounds, and ways to develop more secure connections. She also uses client-centered therapy, offering a nonjudgmental, empathetic stance that supports self-exploration and empowers clients to set their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is another tool in her work, focusing on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms and improve functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Troika works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts the plan over time so therapy remains responsive and relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for greater flexibility in scheduling and the convenience of connecting from different locations. These formats make it easier for clients to maintain consistency in care, access support during busy periods, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
