About Terri
Terri Gossett is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, self-esteem challenges, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Background and approach
With 15 years of professional experience, she draws on a blend of evidence-informed methods to address a wide range of issues including relationship and family concerns, body image and self-worth struggles, grief and emptiness, substance use, and the emotional fallout from infidelity, domestic violence, or separation.
Her manner is described as warm and interactive, grounded in respect and sensitivity rather than stigmatizing labels. She tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person, combining cognitive-behavioral strategies with acceptance-oriented and client-centered approaches to build practical skills, increase self-awareness, and support meaningful change.
Terri emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, meeting clients where they are and working together to set realistic goals. Terri works in English and maintains a practice in Texas.
Her background includes supporting people through life transitions, family-of-origin issues, career shifts, and challenges related to HIV/AIDS, isolation, and guilt or shame. She frames the work as a process that requires courage and offers steady, respectful guidance along the way.
Approach-Focused Online Care with Practical Tools
Terri commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to change behaviors and mood, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes values-based action and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful steps forward, helping with chronic distress, trauma impacts, and motivation struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she treats this as a collaborative effort. Together with each client she discusses goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past, then adapts methods and pace to fit those needs so the work feels relevant and doable.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living far from a therapist. These options allow regular check-ins, skill practice between meetings, and varied communication styles so clients can choose the format that best supports their progress.
