She is based in Hawaii and uses straightforward, supportive care to help people find purpose and build resilience during difficult times.

Terri emphasizes a respectful, client-centered style. She listens first to understand each person’s story and priorities.
How Terri works
From there she and the person pick strategies that fit real life, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Her work often combines mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral tools. Mindfulness practices help slow down strong feelings and notice thought patterns.
Cognitive-behavioral techniques help identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood. Terri also uses solution-focused methods to set small, doable goals. This keeps sessions grounded and action-oriented when people need quick relief or clarity.
She supports people managing relationship stress, parenting concerns, career shifts, caregiving strain, and issues tied to identity and life purpose. With five years of experience and the LCSW credential, Terri aims to make therapy practical and approachable. She encourages people to try small changes, reflect on what works, and adjust as needed.
She welcomes honest conversation and works at a pace each person finds comfortable.

Approaches that guide online care
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s goals and perspective first. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead, helping them identify strengths and decide what matters most. This approach is useful for people wanting a collaborative, respectful process that adapts to their pace and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions focus on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT is practical and works well when someone wants concrete tools to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which methods match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging fit people who prefer writing or want support between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
