Terriee has been the support I have always looked for in a therapist. She has empowered me, challenged me, encouraged me and helped me build my tool box so I am confident in my healing. I often reflect on our sessions and content Terriee shares with me and feel she is always one step ahead of me, guiding me as I explore sobriety, trauma and loving myself. I couldn’t be more appreciative or thankful for her. Terriee is the reason I tell everyone to try the BetterHelp app! Her genuine care and direct approach has been key for me!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I have been seeing Terriee for almost 2 1/2 years. Not only does she help me get to the root of the main reason why I wanted to get therapy, she’s also been there for some pretty serious upsets in my life. She helps me to navigate these events and better understand them. I couldn’t recommend her enough and I often tell people how amazing BetterHelp has been for me.
Terriee is amazing, supportive, knowledgeable, kind and more
Terriee is wonderful and very understanding. I look forward to my continued work with her.
I feel very comfortable with Terriee. I don’t feel judged or looked down on which is very important to me. I feel she understands where I’m coming from but listens as well. She has reached out between appointments with helpful tips & exercises
Great therapy!!
Terriee is simply incredible. She is understanding, caring and extremely knowledgeable in her field. I am lucky to be working with her and look forward to our continued work together.
Terriee is a wonderful therapist who helps me reframe my issues and ways I can work on myself
Terriee is an amazing therapist and is not only professional, but very courteous as well. She listens to my concerns and helps me understand and address my grief and stress. I highly recommend her!
Terriee has been amazing for me! I have only been with her for a few weeks, and already I can tell the difference. She is understanding, provides great tools to use in everyday life, and gets back to you quickly if needed on a bad day. I am glad that I finally got the help I have needed for a long time, and I couldn't have picked anyone better to help me on this journey.
I highly recommend Mrs. Smith! She responds to messages promptly and she actually cares about your well-being and offers a variety of tools to help you become a better version of yourself
When I first sought help from Better Help, Terriee was "assigned" as my therapist and I could not be more pleased with her sessions. She is compassionate, thoughtful and very talented as a therapist. I was struggling with cannabis abuse and am now in remission, all due to her help. I could not recommend her more highly.
Terriee is a great therapist. She is understanding, kind, and will challenge when you need it. I highly recommend her to anyone.
Terriee is so, so good at what she does. She walks me through exercises that help me grow, and I always leave our sessions feeling so much better.
Terri is an amazing therapist and has continued to support and help me throughout of journey together
I really like that she really listens to me
Terriee is an incredible therapist. I was very hesitant to begin therapy. She has met me where I am at and provided me with support and coping skills as I adjust to new circumstances in my life.
It is so nice to have Terriee in my corner, helping me understand my truth. She is very prepared and takes the time to understand the big picture by piecing together details she extracts from our discussions in order to create positive change by evaluating ideas under multiple contexts.
In 2 sessions, Terriee has helped me shift my views about myself and my trauma as a child. She listens and asks me profound questions that reach my inner feelings. She really moves me to keep on the path of self healing.
Terriee Smith makes me feel listened to and appreciated. She often asks me what I am doing for myself to reduce my stress. She understands my problems and offers sound advice.
Terriee is a great therapist. I feel the connection with her, it took me a while to find a therapist that I could connect with. I find her suggestions very helpful for my wellbeing.
Terri has helped me immensely throughout my therapy.
Just wonderful
Terriee is one of the highlights of my week! She is beyond thoughtful and always brings such insight into our conversation. She has a gift and I feel so lucky to have found her.
I appreciate the help she has provided.
I feel very comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings with Terriee. I have learned a lot from her so far in the short time we've connected.
Working with Terriee Smith has been a transformative, rewarding and life changing experience. As a mother, juggling a number of challenges personally, with my career and family – Terriee provided invaluable support and tools to help untangle the weeds and provide clarity and hope amidst overwhelm and uncertainty. Terriee is kind, compassionate, wise and vastly experienced and I’m so grateful I decided to reach out to her and that I was so expertly guided and supported byher throughout. She provided great tools to help with better commnication with my husband and to learn what triggers me to manage. The most important of all is for me to take time for myself anf ways to help me fill my emotional cup. Greatly appreciated.
Terriee is a wonderful therapist! I never feel I have to "hold back" anything and always feel free to ask for direction or support.
She’s wonderful
She is personalized, empathetic, smart, and truly cares about helping me.
Terriee is the best therapist and in many ways: listening, communication, feedback, support, knowledge , experience and kindness.
Terrie has helped me remember who I am in the year that I’ve been talking to her in weekly sessions. I’ve gone from someone dealing with suicidal thoughts and rage to someone who is more peaceful and able to identify triggers that put me in a bad mental space. I was very skeptical of therapy. It didn’t work for me before. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done, showing up for myself day after day. But I really do feel the difference and so does my family.
I have truly enjoyed my time with Terriee. She’s has helped me go through some anxious times. I’m a better person since working with her.
Terrie is like an unbiased educated mom you get good advice and feedback from. She’s good at this. She helps me.
Terriee gives you the tools, guides you on how to use them and encourages you along the way. She made me feel comfortable in the first 5 minutes of speaking and I’ve been able to be very open with her.
Terriee is great. Kind, supportive, experienced, kknowledgeable. I am super happy working with her and will continue indefinitely. Carey Berg
Terriee is a supportive counselor that gives strategic feedback to focus on your goals and what you want to accomplish. I’m happy to have found her!
She’s very good
Terriee is great! No nonsense right to thebpoint
Terriee is very caring and insightful.
Terriee has been fantastic, in the short time that we have been having sessions I feel very comfortable discussing my feelings and troubles with her. Our sessions are a 100% judgment-free zone, I feel heard, that my perspective is validated, and she is very gracious and kind when asking me about why/why I feel a certain way and guiding me towards the source and potential resolution of my feelings.
She’s simply, the best!
Incredible expertise, a wonderful clinician and any clients would be blessed to have her as a provider. Insight and keen understanding makes her a valuable asset to any company.
Truly enjoy my conversations with Terriee, I look forward to our weekly meetings.
I have only done one session with Terriee but feel that it was a good start.
I felt a great connection with my counselor since day one. I feel like I can talk freely about how I feel and I’m never judged. She has understood how I felt and why and she remembers clearly everything I tell her which I appreciate. She gives me the validation I haven’t received from many counselors, friends and even family in regard to my problems. I’m very happy and grateful I found this app and her!!
Talking to Terriee has been so helpful for me. She understands my issues, and is very kind in her delivery. She has helped me practice mindfulness, and encourages me.
Great listening. I can tell she cares
She’s very attentive and has excellent suggestions for me to continue to grow
Terriee is amazing, so blessed to have found her
Terriee is wonderful!
I really enjoy talking with Terriee. She makes me feel heard in a way that I didn’t realize I needed. She is very kind and opening up to her felt effortless, even though that is a very rare occurrence for me. She keeps me in check and reminds me to schedule my next visit and checks in often.
