About Troy

Troy Clayton brings a practical, skills-oriented approach to therapy grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). He uses evidence-informed strategies to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With a focus on building coping tools, he works to translate insight into daily routines that reduce distress and improve functioning. Over a decade of professional practice in Nebraska informs his work with relationship and intimacy challenges, family dynamics, and trauma-related concerns.

Troy pays attention to issues such as communication difficulties, family of origin patterns, grief, guilt and shame, and men’s issues while supporting clients who want to strengthen self-esteem, self-love, or sexual well-being. He emphasizes client strengths and partners with people to set achievable goals.

Licensed as an LMHP in Nebraska, Troy approaches each person as the expert on their own life and supports them in taking the sometimes-difficult first steps toward change. He frames therapy as a collaborative process that honors individual values and priorities while teaching practical skills to navigate difficult emotions and relational struggles.

Applying CBT and Skills-Based Work Online

Online sessions with Troy draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and teach practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT techniques focus on recognizing thoughts, testing assumptions, and building behavioral experiments that reduce avoidance and increase coping capacity.

He also helps clients address relationship and intimacy concerns by teaching communication strategies and problem-solving skills that can improve connection and reduce conflict. This approach can support work on family dynamics, grief, and issues related to self-esteem, guilt, or shame by translating insight into concrete behavioral changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Troy partners with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors interventions so they feel manageable and relevant. He emphasizes learning and practicing skills between sessions so progress carries into daily life.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allows flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access consistent support from a licensed professional without travel, while maintaining a focus on practical, skills-based progress.
