About Terry
Terry Sloan is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, sleep difficulties, and anger. Terry also addresses concerns like burnout, self-esteem struggles, trauma and abuse, and life changes that leave people uncertain about next steps.
She values stories people bring and listens for moments that point toward change. Terry often focuses on how people talk to themselves and how they communicate with others. That means sessions include practical conversation about patterns, reactions, and real interactions that matter day to day.
Terry draws on attachment-based ideas to help people notice close relationship patterns. She uses client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on what matters to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses in everyday situations.
In work around relationships she references the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce recurring conflict. Existential ideas also appear when people struggle with life purpose or major transitions. The approach is collaborative - Terry helps people discover options and choose next steps.
She supports people coping with complicated feelings like guilt, shame, and abandonment. She also helps those facing caregiver stress, job-related pressures, or mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder. Her practice welcomes LGBT clients and people dealing with trauma and PTSD.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Terry uses attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships influence feelings and behavior; this helps when anger or resentment shows up around partners or close contacts. Client-centered therapy means the work begins with the person's concerns and moves at their pace, useful for people who want a conversational, strengths-focused approach. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear tools to notice thought patterns, test them, and practice different responses in everyday situations like work or home.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Terry will help clients decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work continues.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around work, caregiving, or travel. They also let people do short check-ins when schedules are tight, choose sessions without a commute, or use audio-only options if less bandwidth is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt tools like CBT worksheets or communication skills practice to remote sessions so the work stays practical and focused.
