About Terence
He draws on nearly three decades of experience in mental health and addiction counseling. That background means he has worked with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, grief, and substance use challenges. Terence also addresses issues like codependency, communication problems, infidelity, and the strain of caregiving or compassion fatigue.
In sessions he uses approaches that center the person and their goals. He combines Client-Centered methods with Cognitive Behavioral techniques and Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want and build workable habits. The work is collaborative and goal-focused.
Terence pays attention to practical life issues such as career decisions, midlife transitions, and feelings of isolation. He offers coaching-style support when people want direction as well as counseling when they need help coping with loss or mood symptoms.
Based in North Carolina, he brings experience with veterans and armed forces issues alongside general mental health practice. Sessions can address both immediate concerns and longer-term patterns so clients can move toward clearer choices and better daily functioning.
How his approaches fit with online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience, helping them feel heard and guiding the conversation by their priorities. This approach can be useful for relationship struggles, grief, and the stress that comes with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and patterns tied to substance use or codependency.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. It uses conversational techniques to build motivation for healthier choices and is often helpful for addictions, ambivalence about treatment, and making life changes.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities, and then tailor methods that fit. That means the plan can shift as progress and needs change.
Online formats offer practical benefits for people with busy schedules or who live far from providers.
Before starting online therapy, confirm the current session options, scheduling arrangements, and fees. Discuss what will help you take part comfortably and how to fit appointments around everyday commitments. Agree on the next steps with the therapist so you know what to expect.
