About B
LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) with three years of experience. B Payson Croy focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. She works directly with individuals who are navigating hard transitions or persistent emotional pain.
Payson keeps sessions straightforward. She encourages clear talk about feelings, patterns, and what gets in the way of daily functioning. Sessions include listening, reflecting, and practical steps people can try between meetings. The emphasis is on understanding what happened, how it affects current life, and small changes that make daily life more manageable.
Her approach draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and psychodynamic ideas. DBT skills offer concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Psychodynamic work looks at repeated patterns and early relationships that shape how people respond now.
Payson commonly addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, questions about sexuality, mood concerns, and post-traumatic stress. Young adult issues and life purpose are additional areas she helps people sort through.
Sessions are held from a practical stance, focusing on short-term coping and longer-term pattern change as needed. She asks clients to set goals together and evaluates progress over time. For specific session formats and scheduling, confirm the current options before booking.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. In online work DBT usually means practicing skills, reviewing how they went during the week, and applying short behavioral strategies to reduce crisis moments.Psychodynamic therapy focuses on patterns that repeat across relationships and situations. Online psychodynamic sessions often involve talking through recurring reactions, linking present problems to past experiences, and noticing themes that show up between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with clients to decide whether DBT, psychodynamic techniques, or a mix makes the most sense based on needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and revisited over time.
The biography does not list specific supported session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making scheduling around work or school easier. Licensed professionals also use online sessions to keep continuity when life circumstances change.
