I have enjoyed working with Travis. I used to think/feel that no one really cares about me or my situation and I just need to deal with it but Travis has been a person I feel I can share my thoughts and feelings with. He has made me feel comfortable and that I can trust him. He has challenged me and helped me become aware of things that may have contributed to my situation as well as offer open dialogue of possible solutions. The worksheets he has provided helped me to think deep and analyze me own well being.

More about Travis
- 14 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Idaho and Hawaii with years of experience working as a readjustment counselor at a VA Vet Center, case manager for VA homeless program, and community engagement coordinator for public health for the past 12 years. I also served in the Navy for 8 years as a FMF Corpsman with marine corps units and at the Naval Academy clinic working with mental health issues . I love working with individuals, couples, and groups in therapy. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including crisis, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, warzone trauma, and sexual trauma. I also helped many who have experienced issues navigating the Veterans Affairs system and advocating for my fellow veterans.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and strength-based. I am always learning about different therapy approaches and will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support you and assist in any way I can.
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Travis has a easy going and calming personality that allows him to listen with empathy. He helped me process feelings and insecurities that I wasn’t aware we’re working in the background of my mind. With relevant observations and journal prompts, Travis helped me work through some stressful memories that we’re keeping me from moving on in a positive direction! Thanks Travis!
I highly recommend Travis! I loved working with Travis. Although I'm a guy who normally prefers female therapists, I connected very well with him. He's a really cool guy that's extremely kind, caring, and considerate. He's very down to earth and practical solution oriented. I appreciate how much he prioritized listening during our sessions and how quickly he would message me back when I needed support.
Just started and Travis has made the process very smooth for a situation that has been difficult. Grateful for his experience and kindness
