Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Terri uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts and emotions are present. ACT focuses on building psychological flexibility and can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship. This approach supports self-exploration and personal growth by creating a collaborative and respectful space for change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key part of her work, offering structured strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new coping skills. CBT is often effective for managing anxiety, depression, and behaviors that interfere with daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Terri works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what is most helpful for the client.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, during work breaks, or while traveling, and allow therapy to fit more naturally into daily life.
