About Terriee
Terriee Smith is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with 11 years of experience based in Florida. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, addiction, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and related life changes.
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what to try differently. Sessions include skill practice, noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, and planning steps to change routines that get in the way of daily life.
Terriee draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches. That mix is used to identify patterns, test small behavior changes, and build more workable responses to stress and triggers.
She also brings motivational interviewing and narrative techniques when exploring decisions about substance use, eating patterns, or other repeated behaviors. This helps people clarify values and find reasons to make and keep changes.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Science in Counseling. Terriee supports people coping with caregiver stress, body image and aging issues, family of origin concerns, first responder and veteran-related stress, and the fallout from disasters and domestic violence. Practical steps and short experiments are a regular part of sessions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Terriee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can practice small changes and measure what helps.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which combines mindful noticing with clear actions aligned to personal values. ACT supports people who want to accept difficult feelings while still moving toward important life goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit the presenting problem, goals, and daily routine. That often means starting with a plan, checking what works, and adjusting methods over time.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins between in-person appointments. Discuss format preferences during the first scheduling steps to match sessions to your needs.
