About Terra

Terra Ogle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 21 years of experience in behavioral health. She earned both her undergraduate degree and her Master of Social Work from the University of Illinois and has spent her career addressing concerns such as suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, and histories of trauma. Her approach combines warmth and support with practical skill building so clients can move toward meaningful change.

She describes her role as a tour guide, helping people navigate the specific issues they want to address while centering their strengths. As a social worker, she emphasizes that meaningful change involves shifts both inside a person and in their environment. To that end she focuses on identifying and expanding existing strengths as well as helping clients develop new coping strategies.

Terra frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a method that helps people understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another - to reduce anxiety and manage mood. In recent years she has developed a particular interest in trauma and in how traumatic experiences affect thinking, emotion, and behavior; this perspective guides how she frames treatment options and interventions. Her style is reflective, with gentle nudges and a touch of humor, and she encourages clients to take the lead in their therapy while she provides guidance and support.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Terra draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered therapy to support people working through anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical approach that helps clients recognize how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected and teaches tools to shift unhelpful patterns, making it useful for mood and anxiety problems. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathy, respect, and building on a person’s strengths - it creates space for clients to lead the work while the therapist provides support and validation. She also incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when clients need skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. As a licensed professional, she will work with clients to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time so the approach feels helpful and aligned with personal preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow therapy to fit into busy schedules and reach people who cannot travel easily. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care and engage in therapy from familiar settings while working toward meaningful change.
