About Teri
Teri Hines is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with anger, addiction, trauma, grief, stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than long explanations. Teri speaks English and practices from Florida.
Her approach emphasizes straightforward conversation and focused strategies. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that feed anger or anxiety. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is unsure about change and needs help finding personal reasons to move forward.
She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, achievable goals and build momentum. That approach suits people who want concrete tools and faster progress on specific problems like sleep issues, career stress, or coping with life changes. Teri blends these methods to match what each person needs in session.
In sessions she aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings such as guilt, shame, or post-traumatic stress. She supports people working through forgiveness, women’s issues, and compassion fatigue. Conversations are practical and centered on skills that can be used between appointments.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location. International clients are not accepted, and sessions are offered in English.
How Teri uses evidence-based approaches online
Many of Teri's methods translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and replacing them with more helpful patterns; it is useful for anger, anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and resolve mixed feelings about taking steps forward; it works well when someone is hesitant about recovery or behavioral shifts. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical goals and the steps to reach them, which can speed up progress on specific concerns like career stress or relationship tension.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Teri will discuss goals, preferences, and how fast you want to move, and then suggest which methods to try first. Clients and therapist adjust the plan as they learn what helps most.
