More about Teresa

  • 11 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hello! My name is Teresa “Terri” Carter; but everyone calls me Ms. Terri. I am a counselor licensed by the state of Georgia where I work and live. I currently work with individuals that are living with mental health concerns, challenged by emotional health concerns, and/or battling substance use difficulties. While my therapeutic approach varies according to the person, presenting concern, and/or goal, it is always warm and interactive. I am committed to establishing a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients built upon trust, rapport, and mutual respect. Therapeutic approaches I rely upon the most include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Trauma Informed Care (TIC), and person-centered approaches.

I look forward to assisting you in working through whatever is challenging or interfering with you “living your best life.”

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Miss Terri has helped me grow so much. She has been there through thick and thin. She knows personalities very well, which makes her great for navigating difficult relationships.

Terri is a savage. Honest, Empathetic and as real as it gets. Her life experiences shine through such that you will feel heard, seen, and respected. But this is not to say she shy’s away from keeping me accountable. A delicate balance of tough love, all the while keeping your end goal in sight, steering you gently in the right direction. Unapologetically truthful, with ample support and strategies to cope with and conquer those truths. That’s what Terri can do.

I had the pleasure of being matched with my therapist Ms. Terri, about 6 months ago. Starting therapy can be scary, but Ms. Terri instantly made me feel comfortable. She is professional, competent, smart, empathetic, warm and funny. I thoroughly enjoyed my sessions with her, which felt more like talking to a best friend than a therapist. She knew which direction to guide me to, when I felt lost. She believed in me when I had trouble believing in myself. Her gentle push, helped me to take steps in life, which will benefit me for years to come. I’m so happy I chose to invest in myself and was lucky enough to work with Ms. Terri.
