About Terrie
Terrie Pittman helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, or anger. She is a California licensed marriage and family therapist with 15 years of professional experience. Her approach aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and to find practical steps forward.
She focuses on building a calm, respectful space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.
How Terrie works
Sessions emphasize clear communication and small, concrete changes that fit daily life. She often centers work on attachment patterns, thinking habits, and relationship skills to reduce conflict and increase connection. Her background includes long experience helping people with parenting concerns, premarital conversations, anger management, and the aftermath of separation.
She also supports those coping with grief, caregiver stress, codependency, infidelity, jealousy, and blended family issues. Terrie blends techniques to match each person’s needs rather than using a single fixed method. People can expect a mix of practical problem-solving and attention to emotional patterns that underlie recurring struggles.
She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationships shape reactions, on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking, and on the Gottman Method for relationship skill-building. The work is collaborative and paced to the client’s goals. Terrie offers sessions in English and provides several online formats to make therapy fit busy schedules.
She encourages anyone ready to take a step toward change to explore options and find a workable plan.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and ongoing relationships shape current reactions and closeness. It helps people understand patterns that cause conflict or distance and builds different ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers clear strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. The Gottman Method emphasizes practical relationship skills like communication, repair after fights, and rebuilding trust to improve day-to-day interactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Terrie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean combining elements from attachment work, CBT, and the Gottman Method and adjusting as progress unfolds.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, between-session support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
