Approaches that guide online work and sessions

Terri Davis draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often used for managing mood, boosting self-esteem, and improving coping during life changes.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. DBT strategies are useful when strong emotions, impulsivity, or relationship challenges interfere with daily functioning.

For couples and relationship-focused work, Terri uses principles from the Gottman Method to improve communication, reduce conflict cycles, and strengthen connection between partners.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative work Terri does with each person. She helps clients explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Terri is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to engage in ways that fit their schedule and comfort. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, access licensed professionals from different locations, and continue therapeutic work during busy or transitional times.
