About Terri
Terri Asanovich is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in California with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Terri also focuses on communication problems, loneliness, questions about life purpose, and building self-love.
She uses practical, structured conversations to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions emphasize specific strategies and short-term goals. Terri draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, plus existential and mindfulness approaches, to give tools for daily challenges.
Terri spends time clarifying what someone most wants to change. She and the client set small, manageable steps to try between sessions. Progress is tracked and adjusted as needed so the work stays focused and concrete.
In sessions she practices active listening and straightforward feedback. The approach is problem-focused and action-oriented while still allowing room to process difficult feelings. She helps people notice patterns, test different responses, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Her background includes two decades of work with a range of concerns and life stages in California. Terri encourages people to bring specific situations they want to address so sessions can be practical from the start.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Terri uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses in everyday situations. CBT gives concrete tools such as thought records and behavioral experiments that can be practiced between sessions. She also draws on Existential Therapy to look at values, meaning, and personal responsibility when clients face big life questions or feel stuck.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Terri will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, noting what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow focused check-ins during a lunch break or evening. Different approaches lend themselves to practical homework, breathing or mindfulness exercises, and behavior experiments that fit into daily life.
