About Teri
Teri Hines is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people who are coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and loss. She also supports those managing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and LGBT-related issues.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as one main tool to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find personal reasons to change and Solution-Focused Therapy to build practical next steps.
Sessions focus on clear skills and manageable actions. Teri works with clients to identify patterns in thinking and behavior. Then she helps design small experiments to try different responses and see what works in daily life.
She has worked in a range of settings across Florida over two decades. That background informs how she organizes sessions and sets realistic short-term goals. Teri pays attention to how grief, guilt, shame, and post-traumatic stress affect routines like sleep and work.
People who prefer direct, structured sessions that move from problem identification to concrete strategies will recognize her style. She asks practical questions, tracks progress, and adjusts plans as needed. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.
Teri offers therapy in English and does not accept international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions are provided through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work
Teri uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that make problems worse, then practice small changes that alter feelings and behavior. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep disruption, and anger by turning observations into clear experiments.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to clarify a person’s reasons for change and to strengthen commitment to concrete steps. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set short-term, achievable goals and to track small gains week by week.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Teri discusses your goals and preferences in the first sessions and then chooses methods that fit those aims. She treats technique selection as collaborative and adjusts the plan based on progress and feedback.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use camera-off phone conversations if that helps them focus. Ask about available session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first appointment.
