John Troast, LCSW

John Troast is a licensed clinical social worker who brings nine years of experience to work with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and depression. He uses a straightforward, goal-focused style to help people name their concerns and take practical steps toward change. He keeps sessions direct and collaborative so clients understand what they are working on and why.

He meets each person where they are and builds a plan based on current life needs. Goals are set together and revisited regularly. That way the work stays useful and moves at a pace that fits the client.

Troast uses a trauma-informed, non-judgemental stance in sessions. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape individualized plans. Those methods are used to address symptoms such as panic attacks, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress, and to explore issues like abandonment, control, and men's concerns.

Sessions focus on practical steps and skills as well as on understanding patterns that keep problems going. He helps people develop strategies for managing intense moments and for changing unhelpful habits over time.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and he encourages questions about the process. To begin, clients select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.
