About Terrie
Terrie Pittman is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in California who helps people reduce stress and anxiety and improve relationships. She focuses on practical steps people can take right now to feel steadier and more in control.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Terrie creates space for clients to talk about what matters without judgment. She listens for patterns in how people relate and points out small changes that can make daily life easier.
Over 15 years she has supported people through parenting concerns, pre‑marital conversations, anger management, domestic violence recovery, and marriage maintenance. That experience informs practical tools and real examples she brings into sessions.
Sessions are paced to match each person’s needs. Terrie emphasizes clear communication skills, stronger boundaries, and ways to rebuild trust after infidelity or hurt. Parents can expect help balancing caregiving stress and relationship needs.
People who meet her often want direct feedback, helpful exercises, and a steady guide while they try new behaviors. To start, a short matching questionnaire helps connect you and then scheduling follows based on therapist availability.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment‑Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds. It helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and learn new ways to seek comfort and connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thought patterns and builds practical skills to change behaviors and reduce anxiety. The Gottman Method centers on improving communication and problem solving between partners, using clear exercises to rebuild trust and manage conflict.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods fit best. That collaborative process means approaches can be mixed or adjusted over time to match what actually helps.
Confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for consistent check‑ins during difficult periods. Some formats may be better for short check‑ins while others suit deeper conversations, so discuss what will work for scheduling, camera use, or shorter weekly check‑ins when you begin.
