About Troy
Troy J Miles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with sixteen years of clinical experience.

Background and approach
He also integrates EMDR and mindfulness practices when they fit a person’s needs. In conversations he aims to be direct but warm. He listens for the patterns that keep people stuck and offers practical steps to try between sessions.
Conversations often include skill practice, values clarification, and ways to manage strong emotions in the moment. His background includes a Master of Arts in clinical psychology and years of work in addiction recovery programs and community outreach. That experience informs how he supports people through substance concerns and co-occurring problems.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in the room. It emphasizes listening, respect, and working at a pace that feels right for the individual, which can help with self-esteem, relationship problems, and feeling understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and collaborate to choose methods that fit. That process may include trying CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, or elements of EMDR when the client and therapist agree it makes sense.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can simplify logistics or use less bandwidth, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing notes or brief progress updates. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, or other commitments while working with a licensed professional.
