Hi, I'm so glad you're here. I go by Terry or T, she/they pronouns. I'm genderqueer in orientation & presentation, AUDHD, polyamourous (over 17 years practicing), kink-affirming (over 18 years practicing), non-religious LCSW. I am licensed in Texas with several years of professional therapy experience. I have nearly 20 years working in end of life and chronic illnesses. My strengths lie in helping clients with stress and anxiety, lgbtq+ related issues, relationship issues, & trauma,abuse and people who are neurodiverse. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment and I meet clients where they are. I take a collaborative approach in our work together as our needs are so varied and can change weekly. Taking the first step to accessing therapy takes courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

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.
