About Terry
Terry Sloan is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 22 years of experience helping people through change. She listens for the moments that open a new path and supports clients as they work toward clearer choices. Her approach centers on practical conversation and building stronger connections with others and self.
She brings attachment theory into individual sessions to help clients strengthen their support networks. That means looking at how relationships shape reactions and habits, then practicing different ways of relating.
Background and approach
Communication is a frequent focus - both how people talk to themselves and how they speak with others. Terry draws on a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps with mood and anxiety by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors.
The Gottman Method offers practical tools for improving how people relate and resolve recurring conflicts. Client-centered work keeps the sessions grounded in the client's own goals and pace. People often come for stress, anxiety, grief, or trouble sleeping, as well as relationship and life-purpose concerns.
She also supports those coping with trauma, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, and issues around self-esteem or identity. Sessions aim to be straightforward and actionable. Terry works with folks who are navigating life transitions like separation or career shifts.
She helps people practice communication, manage panic or depression, and rebuild trust in themselves. Her style is warm, steady, and focused on small, achievable steps.

Online support
How these approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect feelings and reactions. Online sessions use discussion and exercises to help clients notice patterns and build stronger supports. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. In video or text work, CBT becomes a hands-on process of setting small goals and reviewing what changes.The Gottman Method offers concrete strategies for improving communication and resolving recurring conflicts. In an online session those tools can be practiced in real time, with coaching on phrasing, listening skills, and repair attempts that clients can try between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Many people combine elements of different approaches to fit their situation.
Online therapy provides flexibility and accessibility. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and role‑plays, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, journaling prompts, or fast support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules and keep progress moving forward.
