About Terriee
Terriee Smith is a licensed mental health counselor with 11 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She offers calm, straightforward support for worries like depression, trauma, sleep problems, substance concerns, and low self-esteem. Her approach focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, and client-centered listening. That means sessions often include setting small goals, noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, and trying experiments in everyday life.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of how she works when they fit a person's needs. Terriee trained in counseling and holds a Master of Science in Counseling. She has worked with a wide range of concerns across more than a decade of practice.
Her experience includes attention-deficit issues, bipolar and mood concerns, grief, and difficulties tied to caregiving and first responder stress. Therapy with Terriee is collaborative and practical. She helps people build routines, manage cravings or urges, handle major life changes, and repair relationship patterns that cause pain.
Sessions emphasize clear tools and short-term strategies that people can try between meetings. She provides services from Florida and conducts sessions in English. People connect by scheduling through the Start Therapy workflow and matching to her profile before arranging regular sessions.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small meaningful actions toward what matters. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on values and steady habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses short experiments to test and change unhelpful patterns. This approach can be useful for worry, sleep problems, and mood challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that fit their goals and preferences, combining ACT, CBT, client-centered listening, and mindfulness techniques as needed. This is a team effort where methods are adjusted based on how a person responds.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style prompts, and continuity between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
