She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and she focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Background and approach

She also helps people managing depression, anxiety, ADHD, motivation, and adjustment after life transitions. Sessions aim to identify what’s getting in the way and find realistic, manageable changes to try between meetings. Her style is direct but warm.

Terrie encourages open conversation and normalizes difficult feelings so people can talk without judgment. She often uses structured, evidence-based techniques to break problems into smaller parts and build skills for coping and communication. Clients can expect a clear focus on goals, steps to practice outside sessions, and steady feedback about progress.

Terrie tailors the pace to each person so work moves at a tolerable speed. She also helps people consider practical options when major decisions, like separation or parenting choices, are involved. Starting therapy is framed as a brave decision.

Terrie aims to make the process manageable and useful, helping people build more confidence and better ways to handle stress and relationship challenges.

How evidence-based methods work online

Terrie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and skills. One common approach breaks problems into smaller parts and teaches practical skills for managing emotions and reactions; this helps with anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress by giving tools to use when emotions spike. Another approach centers on improving communication and relationship patterns by identifying unhelpful cycles and practicing new ways to talk and set boundaries, which is useful for parenting stress, divorce decisions, and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which techniques to try based on the person's goals, needs, and comfort. That collaborative process includes checking in often and making adjustments as progress unfolds.

Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls let people connect face-to-face without travel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins or shorter sessions, and text-based messaging helps when someone wants regular brief contact or needs to process between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
