Terra Ogle

Terra Ogle is a licensed clinical social worker based in Illinois 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 is warm and supportive, and she often describes her role as a tour guide who helps clients navigate the issues they want to work on. As a social worker she emphasizes that change involves both the individual and their environment, and she works to build on existing strengths while developing new skills.

Terra frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping clients understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected and teaching strategies to calm the body and quiet the mind by tracing anxiety back to its sources. Her most recent clinical focus is trauma - she recognizes how past experiences shape brain responses, moods, and behavior, and offers perspectives that clients may not have considered before.

While Terra provides guidance and support, she makes clear that therapy is the client’s work and that clients should expect to do most of the talking. Her style is reflective with gentle nudges and a dash of humor to keep the process approachable.

She holds LCSW credentials in both Indiana and Illinois - professional clinical social work licenses in Indiana (IN LCSW 34008217A) and Illinois (IL LCSW 149.014957) - and offers services from her Illinois-based practice.
