Mindfulness tools help people calm racing thoughts and reconnect with the present moment. She also uses client-centered and solution-focused methods to keep work practical and goal-oriented. That means sessions concentrate on what is useful now and on solutions that fit the client’s life.
The approach aims to be collaborative - the client’s priorities guide each step. Terri is a licensed clinical social worker in Hawaii with five years of experience as a therapist. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and helps clarify goals so the work stays relevant to everyday life.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain anxiety or stress. It teaches practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build different coping choices for daily situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That means trying techniques, seeing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth is needed or when being on camera is not preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection, and follow-up between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
