About Terri
Terri Hipps is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with 23 years of experience using practical, evidence-informed methods to help people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and major life transitions.
Background and approach
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused strategies to shape conversation and interventions around each person's strengths and immediate concerns. Terri emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion as the foundation for collaborative work.
She adapts treatment plans to the individual, tailoring dialogue and goals so therapy fits the client rather than forcing clients to fit a single model. Her background includes supporting people coping with abandonment issues, adoption and foster care challenges, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, substance concerns, and responses to natural or human-caused disaster.
Terri encourages those taking the first step toward therapy and guides them through practical next steps toward scheduling and beginning work together.
Online Therapy Using Practical, Goal-Oriented Approaches
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and behaving; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and anger management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic relationship where the therapist supports the client’s own capacity for growth and helps create a safe space for exploring concerns and values.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and circumstances and will adapt methods over time so the plan matches what works best for the individual. This means adjustments to pacing, homework, and session focus as needs evolve.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible and reduce travel time. These formats allow ongoing contact that fits into busy lives, enabling consistent work on skills, problem solving, and coping between sessions with licensed professionals.
