Background and approach
She has supported people coping with trauma, loss, career stress, and life transitions. Terri also addresses issues like self-esteem, intimacy-related problems, and compassion fatigue. In session she blends approachable methods that fit the person’s needs.

Terri aims for collaboration. She helps clients set realistic goals and tracks progress with simple steps. Conversations are direct but compassionate, focusing on what can change now.
Therapy with Terri can include short-term problem solving or longer work on deeper patterns. She offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make sessions fit into busy lives.
How Terri’s Methods Translate Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters and take small steps toward those values. Online sessions can use ACT exercises to notice thoughts and choose actions that match a person’s goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior through practical homework and in-session practice. Terri can assign worksheets, rehearsal tasks, and brief experiments to try between meetings when working remotely.EMDR is used for trauma processing by guiding attention while recalling distressing memories. Online formats can support portions of EMDR work, with careful pacing and collaboration about when to use specific techniques. Choosing the right approach is part of therapy; Terri works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That plan can change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be a good shorter option or when video won’t work. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between sessions or use written exchanges for quick coaching and support. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and adapt to changing days and demands.
