About Brandy

Brandy Terry is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Utah with 12 years of experience in the mental health field.

Background and approach

She holds a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and has developed clinical skills across trauma-focused work, substance-related concerns, attachment and family dynamics, and grief and loss. Her training includes several evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, DBT, attachment-based, and client-centered methods, which she adapts to each person's circumstances.

Her style emphasizes creating a welcoming, compassionate space where clients set the priorities and direct the pace of change. She blends empathy with straightforward feedback, helping people identify practical steps toward their goals while honoring the realities they bring to sessions.

Outside of practice she engages with her community through a parenting group, and she credits creativity and her dog Coda with keeping her grounded.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, or low mood. In an online setting this approach uses structured conversations and practical exercises to build skills that can be practiced between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and ongoing relationship patterns shape current emotional responses and relational expectations, helping people explore safety, trust, and connection in their relationships through reflective dialogue and relational tasks.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting methods over time so the plan fits the client’s needs and priorities.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options allow people to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from different locations within Utah, and choose the communication style that best supports their engagement and progress.
