About Terry
Terry Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of experience helping people navigate stress and anxiety. She works with individuals facing depression, addictions, and the emotional aftermath of trauma and abuse. She aims to make therapy straightforward and respectful for anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
Terry focuses on practical, individualized conversations. She listens for what feels most urgent and then helps clients set small, doable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to emphasize coping skills, clearer thinking, and rebuilding confidence so daily life feels more manageable. Her background includes supporting people through issues tied to attachment, abandonment, and family of origin concerns. She also addresses codependency, communication problems, and struggles with emptiness or life purpose.
Substance use and mood-related concerns are part of her regular practice. Terry says she adapts treatment to each person rather than using the same plan for everyone. She processes past hurts alongside current stressors and helps clients practice different ways of responding in relationships and work.
The work is collaborative, with milestones set together. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Terry emphasizes steady progress and supports people in building skills they can use outside of session.
If someone wants a clear, empathetic approach to anxiety and related concerns, she frames therapy around practical steps and steady encouragement.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Many evidence-based techniques focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building new skills. Cognitive-style methods help people notice and shift patterns of thinking that feed anxiety and depression, which can reduce worry and improve mood. Behavioral strategies add gradual, manageable steps to face avoided situations and regain confidence.Other practical techniques focus on coping and relapse prevention for addictions. These methods teach concrete skills for handling cravings, managing triggers, and rebuilding routines that support recovery. They also address communication patterns and attachment-related concerns that affect relationships and daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative effort with regular check-ins to see what is helping and what should change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues during sessions, while phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins or notes between sessions and can fit into busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent without long commutes.
