About Frankie
Frankie Ter Keurst is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing from Florida. She brings six years of clinical experience and a warm, nonjudgmental approach to sessions. Frankie listens closely and helps people take practical steps toward more stable daily life and healthier relationships.
She gained early experience during graduate internships and a post-graduate registered intern placement at an inpatient crisis stabilization center. There she worked with people facing depression, anxiety, self-harm, personality challenges, ADHD, and those who had experienced physical or emotional trauma. She has collaborated with the Department of Children and Families and with intensive outpatient programs during that time.
Frankie adapts sessions to each person's needs rather than following a single method. She uses elements of attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused strategies, and mindfulness. Conversations are guided by the client's goals and paced to what feels manageable.
Sessions aim to reduce day-to-day stress, improve communication, and strengthen emotional regulation. She also supports people coping with grief, addiction struggles, codependency, parenting strains, and life transitions. Her style is direct but compassionate, focusing on small steps that add up to meaningful change.
Frankie offers video, phone call, and text message sessions. People who choose to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Frankie uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions; this can help with relationship patterns, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Client-centered work means sessions focus on the person's perspective and priorities, with the therapist offering empathy and reflective listening to help people feel heard and make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Frankie will talk with each person about goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and therapist discuss progress together and change direction if needed.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins between commitments. The therapist's listed formats include video, phone call, and text message sessions, so confirm which format you prefer when scheduling. Talk with the therapist about timing and format to find options that suit your routine and needs.
