Background and approach
Conversations are tailored to each person's needs rather than following a fixed script. Terri draws on several approaches to keep therapy useful and straightforward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based choices when feelings are intense. Mindfulness techniques are used for managing stress in the moment. Sessions also use a client-centered stance and motivational interviewing to build motivation for change.
Treatment plans are adjusted over time to match progress and goals. People can expect a mix of talk, practical tools, and short exercises between sessions. Terri’s background includes work across adult age ranges and a focus on family-of-origin issues, blended family concerns, relationship betrayal, substance use, and grief.
She aims to help people find clearer priorities and healthier routines after life changes.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful inner experiences and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes when feelings get overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting thought patterns that drive stress and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms and build confidence. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace to build trust and clarify goals.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Plans can blend methods and change over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different days and schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick skills practice, or when someone prefers writing instead of talking. These options help people keep therapy consistent while fitting it into everyday life.
