About Terriee
Terriee Smith is a Florida LMHC with 11 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and anger. She works with adults who feel overwhelmed by ongoing frustration, shifting mood, or relationship strain and who want straightforward strategies to cope better.
She favors practical methods that focus on present concerns. Sessions center on clear goals and skills people can use between meetings. Terriee uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and change unhelpful reactions.
Terriee also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings while taking action aligned with their values. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit when someone needs help finding internal reasons to change. These approaches are blended in conversation rather than presented as rigid steps.
In a typical meeting she listens to what’s causing the stress or anger, helps name the thinking patterns that feed it, and practices techniques that reduce reactivity. She offers ways to improve sleep, handle cravings, and address low self-esteem or grief alongside mood conditions like depression and bipolar concerns.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and a Master of Science in Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. Terriee frames work as collaborative problem solving - she guides, teaches skills, and helps people try different approaches until something fits.
How her approaches translate to online work
Terriee commonly combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice difficult feelings without getting driven by them and then choose actions that reflect what matters most. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and anxiety going and teaches concrete skills to change those patterns.She also uses mindfulness practices to ground people in the moment and Motivational Interviewing when a person needs help finding their own reasons to change. The therapist and client treat finding the right mix as a collaborative step. They review what helps, try techniques, and adjust the approach based on goals and preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. Many people find remote work makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, for example by avoiding travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with her through the matching process about which format would best fit your routine and the issues you want to address.
