Terry Sloan

Terry Sloan is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who brings 22 years of experience to therapy conversations. She enjoys listening to people's stories and helping them find meaning in the twists and turns of life. Terry focuses on practical change during times of transition and on building everyday skills that make a difference.

Terry centers work on relationships and attachment. She uses that lens to help people strengthen support networks and improve how they connect with others. Communication is a frequent focus in sessions, including how clients talk to themselves and how they talk with important people in their lives.

She helps with a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, sleep struggles, anger, and trauma and abuse. Terry also supports people facing career questions, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. There are additional focus areas like abandonment, commitment worries, blended family issues, and self-esteem concerns.

Terry's approach blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral strategies and narrative work. She pays attention to meaning, values, and the stories clients tell about themselves to shape practical next steps. The Gottman Method informs work on relationship skills when communication and connection are the focus.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and down-to-earth. Terry invites people to explore options, practice new ways of communicating, and develop coping strategies that fit daily life. To begin, use the site's Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a time to talk.

Approaches that guide online work and connection

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current connections shape how people relate today. It helps with relationship patterns, feelings of abandonment, and building stronger supports. Client-Centered Therapy centers on respectful listening and the client's own goals; it helps people feel heard and decide what changes matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic attacks, or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Terry will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice happens together, based on what the client hopes to change and what feels manageable in day-to-day life.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-in visits when needed. It also makes it possible to continue work through transitions or when schedules change, while keeping the focus on practical skills for communication, coping with anger, and managing stress.
