01About Terri
Terri Hipps is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 23 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, depression, and major life changes. She focuses on clear conversations and practical steps that fit each person's situation. Terri aims to meet people where they are and help them move forward at a steady pace.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first to learn what matters most, then tailors a plan that fits each person's goals and daily life.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize useful skills, problem-solving, and small changes that add up over time. Terri draws from client-centered work to make space for each person's perspective. She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.
When trauma is involved, she applies trauma-focused methods to address painful memories and symptoms in ways that feel manageable. She has worked across many concerns including abandonment, adoption and foster-care issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, substance use, domestic violence, and first responder stress. That background gives her experience with varied challenges and life stages.
Terri keeps the process simple and humane. She explains options, checks in about progress, and adjusts plans when needed. Taking the first step can be hard, and she encourages people to begin at a pace that feels right for them.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client's experience so the person feels heard and understood. Online sessions let that work happen through conversation, with the therapist shaping questions and feedback to match each person's needs.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online sessions CBT can include homework, tracking patterns between meetings, and short skill practice during a call or chat to build better routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to choose methods that match the client's goals, comfort level, and daily life. That may mean combining client-centered listening with CBT tools or using solution-focused steps for quicker problem-solving.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation and allow visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when lower bandwidth or hands-free time is needed. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or scheduling between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep continuity when life gets disrupted.
