About Terriee
Terriee Smith is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (FL LMHC) with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship strain, grief, sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and codependency. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, body image concerns, aging issues, and other overlapping problems.
Terriee uses straightforward talk and practical techniques in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and narrative approaches. Sessions focus on actions you can try between meetings, skills for coping in tough moments, and tracking what helps over time.
Her training includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Science in Counseling. She has worked with people managing dual diagnoses, trauma, and substance use concerns during her career. Terriee combines problem-focused tools with opportunities to look at personal values and life choices.
In sessions she helps people set small, concrete goals - for example practicing boundary language, changing unhelpful thinking, or building regular routines for sleep and self-regulation. She will also address how family of origin patterns and caregiver roles affect day-to-day functioning.
If you are unsure whether this matches your situation, she asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see how to proceed. Sessions are conducted in English and follow Florida LMHC practice expectations.
How sessions work
How Terriee applies therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice what matters and take small steps that align with your values, even when thoughts are difficult. It can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns like people-pleasing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. That approach often helps with sleep problems, mood challenges, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes clear listening and feedback so clients can clarify choices and feel heard while they work on change.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Terriee will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit a client's situation. Together you can track what helps and adjust the approach over time rather than committing to one method up front.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into their day more easily, shorten travel time, or choose a quieter moment for a focused check-in. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, caregiving, or other demands. Licensed professionals can also suggest brief exercises to use between sessions so progress continues outside meetings.
