Brandy Terry , LMHC

Brandy Terry holds a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and uses that training to guide individuals, couples, parents, and families through meaningful change. With a decade of experience in the mental health field, she has developed focused skills in trauma treatment, substance use work, attachment and family dynamics, and grief and loss. She approaches therapy with a blend of compassion, empathy, and clear honesty so clients can identify the changes they want and practical ways to move forward.

She aims to create a safe starting point in counseling where each person decides what to change and how to overcome current obstacles. Brandy believes people are generally doing the best they can and that sometimes a caring, steady presence is what helps shift patterns. Her style balances warmth with straightforward feedback to support growth and resilience.

Brandy is a Utah native and holds a Clinical Mental Health Counselor license in the state, listed as LMHC, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Outside of clinical work she stays grounded through her creative interests, time with her dog Coda, and community efforts such as leading a parenting group that reaches families in need. Her experience includes work both within and outside the LDS church, which informs a flexible, respectful approach to diverse family and cultural backgrounds.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Brandy integrates attachment-based work with client-centered principles to help clients explore how early relationships shape current patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding connection and trust in relationships, which can be especially useful for family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and attachment challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental stance where the client directs the pace and focus of change, helping with self-esteem, caregiving stress, and life transitions.

She also draws on EMDR to support people processing traumatic memories and intense emotional reactions; this approach can help reduce the ongoing impact of past trauma and abuse when appropriate. Choosing the right method is a collaborative process - Brandy and each client work together to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what fits the client’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy with Brandy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow licensed professionals to meet clients where they are, accommodate busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible. The online format can make it easier to practice new skills between sessions and to involve partners or family members when needed.
