About Frankie
Frankie Ter Keurst welcomes people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, or relationship and attachment concerns. She is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing from Florida. Frankie writes in a direct, compassionate way and aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable.
Frankie draws on six years of clinical work that began with internships and post-graduate work at an inpatient crisis stabilization center.
How Frankie works
That early work included supporting people after trauma and abuse and coordinating with community systems and intensive outpatient programs. She has experience with a wide range of issues, including addictions, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles. Her style is warm and collaborative.
Sessions focus on listening first, then building practical strategies that fit a person's life. Frankie combines evidence-informed tools from cognitive-behavioral approaches with attachment-focused ideas and client-centered listening to tailor care to each person. Frankie also uses emotionally-focused strategies and mindfulness to help people cope with intense feelings and recurring patterns.
She works with issues such as abandonment, attachment wounds, communication problems, codependency, and caregiver stress. Conversations are guided by what the client wants to change and by measurable steps toward those goals. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Frankie helps people set small, realistic goals and checks progress regularly so plans can be adjusted as life changes.

Online support options
Approach and online options for emotional healing
Frankie blends Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change painful patterns and manage strong emotions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and helps people change repeating cycles in close connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Frankie collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so the work stays relevant as life shifts.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit a short check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain steady progress.
