With 20 years of experience, she draws on approaches that focus on practical change. Sessions often include looking at current thoughts and behaviors, setting short-term goals, and finding motivation to move forward.
Background and approach
She encourages straightforward conversation so clients can say what they need in plain language. In the therapy room she aims to make it easy to talk about hard things without judgment. That means giving space for emotions while also mapping out small, manageable steps.
She works on issues such as relationship strain, self-esteem, sleep troubles, anger, and career stress alongside anxiety and mood concerns. Teri uses techniques that guide people toward concrete solutions and clearer choices. These methods can help when someone is facing life changes, coping with loss, or trying to reduce harmful habits.
She also addresses forgiveness, guilt and shame, post-traumatic stress, and women’s issues when they come up. Sessions are offered in English and conducted from Florida. Teri supports people who want practical, steady work on everyday problems and longer-standing struggles.
Approaches that guide online work and problem solving
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at how thoughts and actions connect. It helps people who struggle with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, or patterns that keep causing trouble by teaching ways to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.Motivational Interviewing focuses on building a person's own reasons to change. It uses open conversation to find what matters most to the client and to boost readiness for steps like reducing substance use or making life changes.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on clear, short-term goals and practical steps. It helps people quickly identify small changes that make daily life easier and more manageable.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then tailor methods together. That way the plan reflects both the client’s needs and what feels doable.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for a full session with visual cues, phone can be a shorter check-in or better when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text lets someone check in between sessions or use messaging when a quick update is needed. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue steady work over time.
