About Terence

Terence Hunt is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 28 years of experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, grief, anger, and problems with self-esteem or relationships. He also supports people coping with career shifts, life changes, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

Terence uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people make different choices and reduce recurring patterns. He blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help clients identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In a typical meeting he listens for what’s getting in the way, then suggests small, doable steps to try between sessions.

He has a long background in mental health and substance use counseling, and brings experience working with mood disorders, veterans, and addiction-related concerns. Terence aims to help people find direction after setbacks and manage obligations at work and at home. He discusses realistic goals and progress in plain language so the work feels concrete.

Practical skills may include breaking down stressful situations, spotting unhelpful thinking, and building short habits that reduce reactivity. When addiction or substance concerns are present he uses motivational techniques to clarify priorities and strengthen commitment to change. Clients who want coaching around career or purpose can expect direct planning and follow-up tasks.

To begin, clients use the site flow to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches work in online sessions

Terence commonly combines Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing in straightforward ways that translate well to remote work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can better understand their own goals and feelings. It helps when someone needs a clear, nonjudgmental space to sort out what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In CBT a client learns to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral experiments to reduce anger, anxiety, or low mood. Motivational Interviewing uses direct questions and reflections to clarify priorities and build motivation for change, which is useful for addiction and recurring patterns.

Finding the right mix is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches to emphasize based on goals, daily demands, and what feels practical. Sessions are paced to match how much someone wants to try between meetings and what fits their schedule.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session options before booking. Generally, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can focus on steps they agreed to try between appointments.
