About Troika

Troika Jackson-Grillo is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people navigate loss, trauma, and difficult family dynamics. She uses clear, compassionate language and practical steps so people feel heard and understood. Troika aims to create a calm space where someone can begin to untangle painful patterns and regain a sense of direction.

She draws on Jungian ideas about personal meaning and symbolism to help people make sense of their inner life.

Background and approach

She combines that with attachment-based thinking to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. Sessions often include gentle reflection on relationship patterns and practical work on communication and boundaries. Troika also uses elements of client-centered therapy to keep the conversation focused on what feels most important to the individual.

Cognitive behavioral techniques may be added to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors when needed. This mix allows flexibility for grief, codependency, dissociation, and other concerns the person brings. With 13 years of experience, Troika has supported people through hospice and end-of-life counseling, abandonment and attachment wounds, and issues around identity and self-esteem.

She works in California and holds the LMFT credential, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Her style is straightforward and respectful. She encourages people to take small, practical steps between sessions.

The goal is clearer communication, fewer reactive patterns, and more moments of relief in daily life.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Troika commonly blends Jungian Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Jungian Therapy looks at symbols, dreams, and personal meaning to help people understand inner conflicts and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people change repeated reactions in relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Troika will listen to a person's goals and concerns and then suggest which methods to try first. Together they check in and adapt the plan so the work feels relevant and manageable over time.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow a fuller, face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text sessions are useful for short check-ins, written reflection, or when someone prefers typing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into varied schedules and daily life, while allowing the same therapeutic approaches to be used across formats.
