I help men ages 24–50 in Texas who feel stuck or lack confidence navigate anxiety and depression through strengths-based, solution-focused online therapy. I’m Tory, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience in mental health and wellness, including over a decade in outpatient therapy. I work primarily with motivated men who want to build confidence, improve emotional balance, and create meaningful personal growth. My approach focuses on identifying strengths, shifting unhelpful self-perceptions, and developing practical strategies that support lasting change beyond the therapy session.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session focuses on understanding what you want to change and what success would look like for you. We’ll clarify your goals, explore what’s been getting in the way, and begin outlining a practical direction for our work together so you leave with clarity and purpose.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths include curiosity, intuition, critical thinking, and the ability to notice patterns others may miss. I help clients challenge limiting self-beliefs and develop healthier, more empowering narratives that support confidence, emotional balance, and long-term growth.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with individuals—primarily men ages 25–50—who feel stuck, struggle with confidence, or experience anxiety or depression, yet are motivated to grow. My ideal clients are curious, open to self-reflection, and willing to challenge negative self-perceptions. I provide online therapy to clients across the United States.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
As a solutions focused therapist I help the people I work with become the best versions of themselves. In my experience people have been able to see change early in treatment and build on this change with intentionality to further such. This approach is what I consider to be "organic" and builds hope while moving towards your desired change. This approach is used to address a myriad of issues, as it focuses on your desired outcome.
Strength-Based
When we use a strength based approach the conversation takes a shift that builds hope and motivation for treatment. You no longer build a conversation around the problem, (although it is important) the conversation is centered around the best parts of your self that will be used with intention to create the change you want to see.

Troy did an excellent job of asking open ended questions that allowed me to process what I was thinking in a safe space

I would choose more options than "empowering" and "challenging," but I'm only allowed to pick two. I love speaking with Tory because he really is all these characteristics and more. I particularly like that he is challenging, because if it wasn't a challenge there wouldn't be a need for it. He likes to take anything I say and throw it back to me; he never outright says a thought, but he'll lead me to get there on my own, which is very powerful and helpful for me. Always a pleasure!

Nothing feels better than having a thought partner that allows you step forward with your thoughts, emotions, and feelings, and share the space with you to navigate the impacts and outcomes of them. Tory brings an environment of calm, comfort, and empathy that allows me to feel heard by someone else, while at the same time, allowing ME to hear MYSELF, gain recognition of MYSELF, and build the confidence to better trust MYSELF.
