Terra Ogle

Terra Ogle is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 21 years in behavioral health. She earned both her undergraduate degree and a Master of Social Work from the University of Illinois. Terra has spent much of her career supporting people through depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and trauma history. Her approach feels warm and supportive and she frames herself as a tour guide who helps clients move toward their goals.

She blends practical skills with attention to life circumstances. Terra believes change happens inside a person and in their environment. That means she looks for existing strengths to build on while teaching new skills when needed.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a mainstay of her work. She helps clients see how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and practices ways to interrupt unhelpful patterns. The goal is to quiet the body and calm the mind by tackling what feeds anxiety.

Trauma work has become a central interest for her. Terra pays attention to how past experiences shape mood and behavior and introduces different ways of approaching recovery that clients might not have tried before.

Her style is reflective with gentle nudges and occasional humor. She encourages clients to take the lead in sessions and expects them to do most of the talking while she listens, reflects, and offers guidance.

How Terra’s approaches translate to online care

Terra uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in straightforward ways. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and following the client’s lead so the person feels heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches simple techniques to notice and change connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will review goals, symptoms, and preferences with each person and suggest approaches that fit. The decision about methods is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or letting someone choose an audio-only meeting when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can still teach CBT tools, offer reflective listening, and guide trauma-informed strategies in remote sessions, while tailoring pacing and exercises to each person's needs.
