About Terri

Terri Grumieaux is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 26 years of professional experience guiding people through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addictive patterns.

Background and approach

She centers her work on the belief that each person knows their story best and already carries strengths that can be drawn on during difficult moments. Terri emphasizes collaboration and respect, helping clients build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence while navigating life changes and emotional pain.

Her practice integrates evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance and emotion-focused strategies to address trauma, panic, postpartum mood changes, seasonal mood shifts, and compassion fatigue. She also works with concerns related to communication, forgiveness, infidelity, intellectual disability, social anxiety, and self-love.

Terri frames therapy as a courageous first step and supports clients through practical skills and compassionate listening to foster meaningful change and greater emotional balance.

Using Practical Therapies Online

Terri integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for anxiety, panic, depression, and stress-related problems. ACT helps clients clarify values and build psychological flexibility by accepting difficult feelings while committing to meaningful action, which can be helpful for grief, chronic stress, and issues like low self-esteem.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques and adjust the plan together to find the best fit over time rather than assuming a single method from the start.

Online sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase access and scheduling flexibility. These formats allow clients to work on skill-building, process emotions, and receive therapist feedback from home or other convenient locations, supporting continuity of care across busy lives.
