About Terriee
Terriee Smith is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and codependency. She offers straightforward support for common struggles like depression, ADHD symptoms, sleep problems, and issues with eating or substance use. Her approach aims to help clients find clarity and practical steps forward.
She listens without judgment and focuses on what matters most to each person. Sessions mix mindful awareness with real-world actions so clients can respond differently to hard situations. Terriee draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy along with cognitive-behavioral ideas and client-centered listening to shape each plan.
Her training includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and a Master of Science in Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. She holds the Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential (LMHC) and has practiced for 11 years in a variety of settings.
In sessions she uses practical techniques such as guided mindfulness, skills to change unhelpful thinking, motivational conversations, and storytelling methods to reframe problems. The focus is on small, doable steps clients can try between meetings to build confidence and reduce overwhelm.
People who come for help often want relief from getting stuck, managing emotions, or coping after loss or major change. Terriee aims to provide an approachable, steady presence and a plan clients can use beyond therapy.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that meet you where you are
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and codependency-related patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going, which can help with mood, sleep, and unwanted habits. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental listening stance so clients can find their own solutions and feel understood.Figuring out the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, trying interventions and adjusting as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay relevant and practical.
