About Terry
Terry Sloan is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 22 years of experience. She practices in North Carolina and brings a steady, person-focused approach to sessions. Terry listens for the moments that point to change and helps people find clearer next steps.
She enjoys hearing life stories and looks for the strengths hidden in them. That attention helps people make sense of big transitions. Terry usually focuses on how clients talk to themselves and how they communicate with others.
How Terry works
Improving those patterns is a common part of her work. Terry uses attachment ideas to help people build and strengthen support networks. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered listening.
These approaches are used to address stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns among other issues. People often come for help with life changes, caregiving strain, blended family questions, and career stress. Additional focuses include panic, bipolar mood concerns, sleep problems, and feelings of abandonment or low self-worth.
She also helps people navigating issues tied to identity, including LGBT concerns. Terry aims for clear, practical conversations rather than jargon. Sessions tend to include reflection, skill practice, and planning concrete steps.
She welcomes the chance to help people move toward goals and better daily functioning.

How Terry's Approaches Translate Online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions use talk and reflection to identify patterns from past relationships and build stronger support connections, which can help with grief, abandonment, and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities; the therapist listens deeply and follows the client's lead to clarify goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, involves noticing thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Terry treats the choice of approach as a collaboration. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Over the first sessions she helps people try approaches, notice what helps, and adjust the plan together.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for written check-ins, brief tools, or when someone prefers typing. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while still working toward clear goals.
