About Terrayce

Dr. Terrayce Hunter is a California psychologist with 26 years of clinical experience. She holds the credential CA Psychologist 17120 and has been licensed in California since 2001. She works with common problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, parenting concerns, and anger.

She draws on years of work with family dynamics and life-stage changes. That includes attention to aging and geriatric issues and the grief that can come with later-life transitions. She also uses psychological testing to gather clear information about personality and functioning when that information will help the work.

In sessions she focuses on helping people notice their strengths and build practical skills. Motivational interviewing is one way she supports change by exploring what matters to the person and what might make change possible. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used when it helps to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems active.

Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about how early relationships shape current responses to stress and anger. A client-centered stance means the therapist follows the person’s pace and concerns while offering guidance and skill-building.

People who come for help with anger often also bring relationship strain, work stress, or grief. Dr. Hunter aims to make those links clear and to help clients take concrete steps, such as learning new ways to respond in heated moments and building problem-solving habits that fit daily life.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and closeness. Online sessions can use this lens to notice patterns in how someone responds to stress and anger, and to practice new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's concerns. In an online meeting this means the therapist reflects what the person says and helps them name priorities for change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. That approach is often used for anger, anxiety, and mood problems by identifying triggers and testing new responses.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, past experiences, and what feels workable. Together they will try methods and adjust plans based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions and can fit into work and family routines. It also allows practicing new skills in real-life settings and reviewing progress between meetings. Licensed professionals adapt pacing, homework, and skill practice so therapy fits everyday demands.
