> 私は困っている。

I've seen the sentence translated as "I am in trouble", however depending on
the context is it possible that it also could mean "I am troubled" or "I am
worried"?

question
usage
困っている usage / different meanings depending on context?
困る / 困っている / 困った can be translated in many ways:

I am in trouble / difficulty; I am having a hard time; I am (being) troubled /
stuck / annoyed / bothered / distressed / embarrassed / perplexed / at a loss
/ in need / in inconvenience, etc...

So yes, I think it is possible that it also could mean "I am troubled" "I am
worried", depending on the context, although we more commonly say
(～が)[心配]{しんぱい}だ / (～を)心配している to mean "I am worried / anxious / concerned
(about...)"
