About Terrayce
Dr. Terrayce Hunter is a California psychologist (CA Psychologist 17120) with 26 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, anger, self-esteem, and ADHD. She also focuses on aging and geriatric issues and related family stresses.
Hunter has a background in psychological testing and uses test results to clarify patterns and guide treatment. She has worked with children, teens, and adults and has long experience with life stage changes. She notes particular interest in grief, loss, and what happens as people move into later stages of life.
Her style combines motivational interviewing with skill-building work. That means asking questions to uncover what matters to a person and then practicing concrete strategies to change thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach for noticing unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of responding.
She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. Client-centered methods shape sessions so the person's concerns guide the pace and focus. Existential themes come up when people want to talk about meaning or life direction.
Sessions typically emphasize clear goals, short-term skills, and practical steps for everyday life. Testing results may be shared and used to shape treatment choices. People who want structured, question-driven work that mixes conversation with active practice may find this approach useful.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Hunter uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical behavior changes. CBT sessions often include clear goals, homework tasks, and simple tools for daily life, which can be discussed and adjusted in remote sessions.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. That approach helps when relationship patterns and family dynamics are part of the concern. Client-Centered Therapy shapes the pace of sessions so the person's priorities guide what gets worked on and when.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining CBT skill practice with motivational questioning or attachment-focused reflection.
