Background and approach
Sessions often include focused techniques to reduce symptoms and skills for managing strong emotions. The goal is to help people find more calm and usable ways to handle daily stressors. Travis earned his master’s degree from the University of South Florida in 2021 and holds a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential.
He has four years in clinical practice and additional prior experience across multiple care settings. That mix of hospital, residential, restorative justice, and long-term care work informs his practical approach. His background includes substantial work with combat veterans and their partners, and he draws on the idea of post-traumatic growth - finding purpose after hardship - when it fits a person’s goals.
He also has experience with elderly care, dementia, hospice, prison settings, truancy, and youth residential programs. Outside of work Travis stays active with weight lifting, yoga, biking, swimming, bird watching, reading, and chess. He aims to help people convert pain into forward motion and build habits that support daily life.
Approaches for calming anxiety and processing trauma
Travis prefers focused, evidence-informed techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and build usable skills. Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a brief approach that uses guided imagery and focused eye movements to help shift how memories are held in the body and mind; it can be helpful for people dealing with trauma-related distress and post-traumatic stress. He also uses practical skills work to address anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and behavioral strategies that reduce immediate symptoms and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Travis discusses goals and preferences with each person and tailors methods to fit their needs, adjusting the plan based on what works in early sessions. The aim is to find a pathway that feels doable and relevant to real life challenges.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video works well for longer conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, quick coping ideas, or ongoing support between full sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
