About Terri
Terri Hipps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and major life changes. Terri also offers help for concerns such as codependency, caregiver strain, communication problems, and issues related to adoption and loss.
In sessions she keeps the focus practical. Conversations are guided by the client's goals. Terri listens to what is happening now and what needs to change. She uses straightforward techniques to reduce overwhelming feelings and to improve day-to-day coping.
Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the client's perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Solution-focused techniques help set small, achievable steps toward clearer outcomes.
Terri has long experience supporting people after trauma and abuse. She helps people build skills to manage anger, limits, and reactions tied to past events. She also assists those living around someone else's substance use or unpredictable behavior.
Sessions aim to be practical and goal-directed. Terri discusses options and adapts plans as progress is made. To get started she asks a few basic questions, then helps people schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
The client-centered approach centers on the person's own perspective. It involves open listening and reflecting back what matters to the client, helping them notice options and decide next steps. This approach supports people who feel unheard or who want to regain a sense of control.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses clear exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Terri will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and daily life. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs shift.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, therapy delivered remotely can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques such as CBT worksheets or solution-focused planning to remote sessions so work continues between meetings.
