About Terri
Terri Lee is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She works with individuals facing relationship strain, career challenges, and life transitions. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, focused on small steps that create real change.
Terri believes each person knows their story best and brings their own strengths to the work. Sessions focus on identifying those strengths, building coping skills, and testing new ways of handling hard moments.
Background and approach
She helps clients break problems into manageable pieces and find realistic next steps. Common topics she addresses include communication problems, workplace issues, feelings of isolation or loneliness, guilt and shame, and challenges related to divorce or separation. She also offers coaching-style support for career decisions and transitions.
Conversations move between problem solving, skill building, and planning for change. Terri uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs and goals. She works collaboratively, listening first and then offering strategies that fit the client’s life.
Her style aims to be straightforward and encouraging while keeping goals practical. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled to fit different routines. People who reach out will complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that match their timing and needs.
Evidence-based techniques and online care
Terri draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and problem solving. One approach centers on building coping skills and breathing or grounding exercises to reduce anxiety symptoms and manage stress in the moment. Another approach emphasizes communication and behavioral strategies to improve relationships and workplace interactions, helping people practice new ways of speaking and setting boundaries.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust plans as progress is made. This means starting with what feels most useful and changing course when needed.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and make consistent care easier to maintain.
