About Terri
Terri Hipps is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 23 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and major life changes. Terri speaks English and practices from Texas.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on client-centered methods to prioritize the person's experience, and solution-focused strategies to set concrete goals.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. She helps identify thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that increase distress. Then she and the person try small, doable changes to shift those patterns and check what helps in real life.
Terri has worked with issues connected to abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems, and substance-related issues. She also has experience with first responder issues, domestic violence, aging and geriatric concerns, and recovery after disasters.
Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented. She works with clients who want practical tools for managing symptoms and responding differently to difficult situations. To begin, prospective clients follow the site matching process and schedule a first session.
How CBT and Practical Therapies Translate Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person, helping them clarify concerns and goals. It supports people who want a steady, respectful conversation about their experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; online CBT sessions often include short exercises, homework, and step-by-step skill practice to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, measurable changes and the next best steps. It can help when someone wants a clear plan and quick problem-solving rather than long-term exploration. In practice Terri combines these approaches to set goals, track what works, and adjust methods as needed in collaboration with the client.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and how previous strategies have worked. Together they agree on which methods to try and adjust those choices over time based on progress.
The practical benefit of online arrangements is fitting sessions into everyday life. Confirm the session formats offered before booking since this profile does not list specific formats. Online options can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, avoid travel time, or choose sessions that do not require video when bandwidth is limited. These logistical choices help keep therapy consistent with daily responsibilities.
