About Terry
Terry Brewer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience helping people navigate addiction, relationship strain, trauma, and mood concerns.

Terry has worked in a variety of settings including residential facilities and correctional environments, and he has provided both in-person and online services.
How Terry works
He focuses on practical steps that people can take to feel steadier day to day. He helps clients settle strong emotions and rebuild trust after painful events. His approach draws on client-centered ideas and cognitive-behavioral tools to change patterns that cause distress.
He also uses dialectical behavior therapy and EMDR for trauma-related concerns when appropriate. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and values rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Terry emphasizes respect, autonomy, and empathy in the therapeutic relationship.
He avoids criticism or shame and works collaboratively to set goals. He often combines straightforward feedback with skills practice to build lasting change. People who connect with his style are looking for honest conversation, steady support, and clear strategies for coping with stress, addiction, relationship breakdown, parenting strain, or major life changes.
He aims to help people move toward greater peace and more meaningful daily living.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online therapy
Terry often uses Client-Centered Therapy to place the person’s experience at the center of sessions. This means listening closely, honoring each person’s values, and shaping the work around what matters most to them. It helps people who need a steady, respectful space to work through hard feelings.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT introduces practical exercises and daily skills that reduce anxiety, depression, and relationship conflict. For people with intense emotions or self-destructive patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication.
Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods, adjust the plan, and pick techniques that feel useful and doable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets people read nonverbal cues and practice interaction. Phone works well when video isn’t convenient or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still working on meaningful change.
