Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Ida Terry
Ida uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment where the client's perspective guides the work. This approach focuses on empathy, active listening, and respect to help people explore values, build self awareness, and make choices that align with their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is practical for managing depression, anxiety, substance use patterns, and day-to-day coping skills. Motivational Interviewing is also part of her toolbox when addressing ambivalence about change, particularly in areas such as addiction or risky behaviors - it helps people find internal motivation and set realistic steps forward.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ida works with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so care feels personally relevant and effective. She aims to partner with each person in planning and pacing the work.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules or to access care across distances. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support while accommodating different communication styles and life demands.
