Hi, I’m Terry, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Texas. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating grief, loss, anxiety, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm.
My approach is warm, compassionate, and real. I believe therapy should feel like a safe space where you can be yourself without judgment. Whether you’re dealing with the loss of a loved one, feeling stuck, or trying to make sense of your emotions, you don’t have to go through it alone.
With a background in hospice care, I have a deep understanding of grief and the complex emotions that come with it. I use a combination of evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, while also meeting you where you are emotionally.
My goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and empowered as you move through your healing process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
