About Troika

Troika Jackson-Grillo is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people cope with grief, trauma, and problems tied to family and relationships. She emphasizes practical support and clear steps that people can use between sessions. Troika speaks directly and kindly with clients to help them feel heard while working toward calmer days.

Troika uses ideas from attachment-based work to look at how early connections shape current relationships.

Background and approach

She also draws on client-centered approaches to center the person's experience, and cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. These approaches are mixed to match what each person needs. She has thirteen years of professional experience and practices in California as an LMFT, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

That background informs how she thinks about family patterns, blended family issues, and problems coming from a family of origin. Troika often helps with issues such as abandonment fears, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness. She also supports people facing hospice or end-of-life concerns and those working through grief after a loss.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. Expect clear goals, practical tools to try at home, and gentle attention to how relationships and past experiences shape current struggles. Troika encourages small steps and builds on existing strengths to help people move forward.

Online support

Attachment-informed care and online counseling options

Troika draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns, which can help when people struggle with abandonment, trust, or repeated conflicts. She also uses client-centered therapy to keep the person's own experience front and center, offering empathy and space to tell their story. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of daily functioning. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Troika will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan based on what actually feels useful. Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful when people want face-to-face interaction, phone can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and create continuity even when life is hectic.
