Approaches That Guide Online Therapy

Terri integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-focused techniques into her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes respect, empathy, and collaboration - the therapist listens deeply and helps clients identify their own goals and strengths, which can be especially helpful for building trust and self-direction. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and anger through structured strategies and problem-solving. Trauma-focused therapy addresses the effects of traumatic experiences by helping clients process difficult memories and reduce trauma-related symptoms, supporting recovery and improved daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Terri works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time, combining elements from different approaches when that serves the client's progress.

Online sessions with Terri are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to connect from their own environments and choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level, making ongoing care easier to maintain alongside everyday responsibilities.
