About Frankie

Frankie Ter Keurst brings a compassionate, client-centered approach to therapy and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and challenges related to ADHD and parenting. Frankie practices from Florida and draws on six years of clinical experience working in crisis stabilization and outpatient settings.

Background and approach

She emphasizes listening carefully and partnering with clients to develop practical strategies that match each person’s goals and life circumstances. Her background includes graduate internship and post-graduate registered intern work in an inpatient crisis stabilization center, where she supported people facing self-harm, personality-related concerns, substance use issues, and effects of physical or emotional abuse.

Frankie has also worked alongside child welfare systems and intensive outpatient programs, informing a grounded, trauma-aware perspective. She combines cognitive behavioral methods with attachment-based and client-centered techniques to help clients build coping skills, clarify values, and repair relationships while honoring individual strengths and preferences.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Frankie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her work and focuses on improving relational patterns, exploring attachment needs, and repairing emotional connections with others through understanding behavior and emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Frankie partners with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts techniques over time so therapy stays relevant and useful. Together they determine whether CBT, attachment-focused work, or a client-centered stance best supports progress.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible for people with busy lives or mobility constraints. These formats allow ongoing access to a licensed professional from different locations in Florida and can support continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
