About Truitt

Truitt Grant is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with eight years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, bipolar disorder, and depression. He focuses on practical steps people can use right away. He speaks English and accepts international clients.

He works in a straightforward, problem-solving way. Sessions often look at patterns of thought and behavior, and then try different responses. He values the client's perspective and treats the person as the expert on their own life.

Truitt uses a mix of approaches to match the problem at hand. That can include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation, and client-centered listening to clarify goals. He also draws on motivational interviewing to address readiness for change.

Common concerns he helps with include relationship stress, family-related struggles, work and career pressure, addiction issues, low self-esteem, and panic symptoms. He also addresses complex themes such as attachment and abandonment, guilt and shame, isolation, and multicultural concerns.

In sessions he focuses on concrete strategies - small experiments, skill practice, and clear steps to track progress. He encourages people to notice patterns, try alternatives, and adjust what’s not working. The process is collaborative and action-oriented.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Truitt uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time; fees vary with location.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Truitt draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thinking and behavior patterns and test specific changes. CBT emphasizes concrete steps such as behavioral experiments and thought records that can be practiced between sessions. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so goals become clearer and people feel understood as they plan next steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills may be introduced for managing strong emotions and reducing reactivity. DBT skills include practical tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and improving interpersonal effectiveness that can be practiced during and between sessions. Choosing which approach to emphasize is a joint process based on the client’s goals and what seems to help in early sessions. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when useful, and reduce travel time. Because the exact session formats are not specified here, confirm the available options before booking. The therapist will collaborate on a plan that fits the client’s needs and daily routines, adjusting skills and homework so progress continues between meetings.
