Remote therapy tailored to practical change and relational work



Online sessions with Terry emphasize a collaborative partnership that balances skill building and deeper relational exploration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, or impulsive reactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy guides couples and family members to access and reshape interaction patterns that keep them stuck, focusing on emotional connection and clearer communication.

Existential and client-centered elements invite reflection on meaning, values, and life transitions while honoring the client's perspective. Terry works with clients who prefer structured techniques as well as those who want to explore broader life questions, adapting the mix of approaches to fit each person's goals. Remote appointments are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that best supports ongoing work together.
