About Terri
Terri Hipps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and major life changes. Terri focuses on practical ways to manage strong emotions and get back to daily functioning.
Her approach centers on straightforward conversation and skills practice. She uses client-centered methods to listen and understand each person's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify thinking patterns that feed anxiety or anger and to test new ways of responding.
Terri also draws on solution-focused techniques to shape brief, actionable steps clients can try between sessions. For people coping with trauma she adapts trauma-focused work into a pace the client finds manageable. The emphasis is on skills that reduce distress in the moment and over time.
She has worked with a wide range of concerns beyond the main specialties, including caregiver stress, substance issues, communication problems, and the stresses that come from adoption or blended family situations. Her years in practice include work with first responders and people affected by disasters.
Sessions involve clear goal setting and measurable steps. Terri explains options and helps clients pick strategies that fit their daily life. The first meeting focuses on immediate concerns and a practical plan for next steps.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and reflecting the client's experience. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the client's lead, clarify priorities, and shape goals that feel useful in daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing more helpful responses. In an online setting this can mean short experiments between sessions, worksheets, and practice that fit into a regular routine to reduce anxiety or manage anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods based on the client's goals, comfort, and practical needs. That choice can shift over time as progress or new concerns emerge.
The biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full office visit would be difficult. Sessions can focus on skill-building, short-term problem solving, and follow-up work that helps apply new strategies in daily life.
