Background and approach
Terry helps clients identify strengths and small changes that add up over time. In therapy she draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral methods to help people spot patterns and try different behaviors. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness to reduce distress and improve emotional regulation.
Motivational interviewing is used when people want help clarifying goals and finding the drive to change. Terry has worked with individuals and couples across many concerns, including relationships, parenting stress, sleep problems, anger, career shifts, and trauma or abuse. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, blended family challenges, and issues related to identity and sexuality.
Sessions are offered through several online formats so people can choose what fits their life. Terry aims to be practical and collaborative, helping each person create a plan that fits their goals and daily routine.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in the room. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and working from your goals so you feel understood and able to try new ways of coping. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practice practical steps to change how they feel and act. DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, offers specific skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Terry will collaborate with each client to decide which methods match their needs and goals. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you see facial cues and have a full session. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or a way to share thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or long commutes while still using practical CBT, DBT, and client-centered techniques.
