About Johnnie

Dr. Johnnie (John) Terrell is a Florida Psychologist (FL Psychologist PY10787) and an Indiana Psychologist (IN Psychologist 20042036A) with 45 years of clinical experience. He practices in Indiana and works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, and a wide range of life challenges.

He uses plain conversation and steady listening as the core of his work. Sessions focus on understanding current problems, noticing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and trying practical ways to respond differently. He combines cognitive behavioral methods with attachment-focused and client-centered ideas to address how people think and relate to others.

John believes in treating people with grace and acceptance. He emphasizes patience, respect, and straightforward feedback rather than technical labels. He draws on decades of clinical work in hospitals and private practice to offer perspectives that fit each person’s situation.

His experience includes helping people with ADHD, bipolar concerns, phobias, post-traumatic stress, eating and hoarding issues, infidelity, end-of-life and hospice counseling, and career or life-purpose questions. He also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and the stresses tied to military or veteran experiences.

Sessions aim to be practical and concrete. People can expect focused conversation about patterns that keep problems going, experiments to test different responses, and attention to feelings that matter in relationships and daily life.

How his approaches translate to online work

Dr. Terrell integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into practical online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or problematic habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how close relationships shape feelings and reactions, and helps people notice and change patterns that cause conflict or distance.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with clients to clarify goals and try methods that fit those goals. If one way of working does not help, he adjusts the approach and tries other strategies together.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Many people find it helpful to try a session and see whether the pacing and interaction style suit their needs.
