About Terry
Terry Sloan is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 22 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and guilt and shame. Terry also addresses trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, sleep problems, bipolar disorder, and issues around self-esteem and life purpose.
Terry focuses on life transitions and the choices they bring. She describes her work as listening to each person's story and helping them notice the patterns that matter. She pays attention to how people speak to themselves and to others, and uses that as a place to make small, practical changes.
Her approach draws on attachment-based thinking to strengthen relationships and support networks. She also uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person, and cognitive behavioral ideas to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions aim to help people manage emotions like shame or guilt and improve how they connect with others.
Terry often brings conversations about forgiveness, commitment, and communication into sessions when those topics arise. She works with concerns related to abandonment, blended family issues, and caregiver strain in ways that lead to clearer choices and next steps. The tone of sessions is direct and conversational, with attention to practical coping skills.
Terry offers services in English and accepts international clients. She holds the NC LCMHC credential. To start, prospective clients follow the site matching process and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions using this approach often focus on strengthening connections and understanding how past attachments affect present relationships.Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client's experience and priorities. In an online meeting this means the therapist follows what matters to the person and helps them name goals and next steps in plain language.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practices concrete alternatives. For issues like anxiety, guilt, or sleep problems, CBT provides practical exercises that can be done between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation can happen in early sessions and be adjusted as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, since the biography does not list specific delivery options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example scheduling a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or choosing an audio call when bandwidth is limited. Discussing practical arrangements at the first appointment helps shape sessions that integrate with daily routines.
