About Truitt

Truitt Grant is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in California with eight years of professional experience. He works with people who face stress, anxiety, grief and loss, mood disorders including bipolar and depression, and issues around addiction and relationships. He also helps with anger, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue.

Truitt approaches therapy from a client-centered perspective. He starts by listening and helping people name what matters most to them. He uses practical methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when patterns of thinking and strong emotions get in the way of daily life.

In sessions he mixes short-term, solution-focused work with deeper conversations about attachment, abandonment, guilt, and shame. He also uses motivational interviewing techniques when someone is weighing change, such as addressing addictions or shifting behaviors that fuel resentment or impulsivity. The work aims to build skills people can use between sessions.

Truitt pays attention to cultural background and men’s issues, and he supports people facing isolation, jealousy, or family problems. He frames challenges as problems to be understood and managed rather than personal failure. He invites straightforward talk about what’s working and what isn’t.

To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. He sees clients in California and accepts international clients, and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Truitt commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against reality, which helps with anxiety, depression, and anger that comes from repeated negative thinking. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions, which can be useful for people who struggle with sudden anger or mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. He works with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. That means trying skills in session, checking how they feel in real situations, and adjusting the plan together as progress or obstacles appear.

Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use quieter surroundings or turn off video if that helps them focus. Licensed professionals and therapists can guide practical skill practice and homework between sessions to help apply what was discussed to everyday moments.
