About Frankie
Frankie Ter Keurst is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with six years of experience. She practices from Florida and works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship problems, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Frankie completed her graduate internship and post-graduate registered intern experience at an inpatient crisis stabilization center. She has experience supporting people after physical trauma or emotional abuse and has worked alongside the Department of Children and Families and the Baker Act court system, as well as with intensive outpatient programs.
In sessions she combines cognitive behavioral ideas with attachment-based and client-centered approaches. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, look at relationship dynamics, and keep the conversation focused on the person in front of her. She also uses elements of emotionally-focused and mindfulness work when useful.
Frankie aims to listen without judgment and to reduce stigma around struggles. She frames treatment as collaborative and involves clients in planning their work together. Practical steps, homework between sessions, and short-term skill building are common parts of her work.
She offers support for a wide range of concerns including abandonment and attachment issues, caregiver stress, body image, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, domestic violence, and many other challenges. Sessions are conducted in English from her Florida practice.
How CBT and attachment work in online sessions
Frankie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT sessions often include practical exercises, thought records, and small homework tasks to build new habits and manage anxiety, depression, or stress.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how patterns in close relationships affect feelings and behavior. That work focuses on understanding attachment needs, improving communication, and changing recurring relational patterns that contribute to distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frankie will discuss goals with each person and try different methods to see what fits. This is a collaborative process where the client’s needs and preferences guide which tools are used and how sessions are structured.
If you plan to meet online, confirm the available session formats when booking. The original biography lists video, phone call, and text message sessions, so check which of these options are offered at the time you schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins on the phone, or offering text messaging for quick progress updates between meetings.
