Terri Beard is a Licensed Professional Counselor who practices in Texas. She graduated with a master's degree in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling from Texas Tech University and brings eight years of clinical experience to her work.

She also supports individuals facing relationship tensions, grief, trauma, substance use, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and concerns related to LGBTQ identity and self-esteem. Other areas she addresses include parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related struggles.
Terri’s counseling style is empathetic and goal oriented. She centers the individual’s experience and works collaboratively to define what success looks like. Sessions focus on practical steps, skill-building, and processing difficult memories when needed.
Her clinical methods include cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, acceptance and commitment approaches to clarify values and move toward a meaningful life, emotionally focused work for relationship and attachment concerns, and EMDR for processing traumatic memories. She also draws on solution-focused strategies to set short-term targets and measure progress.

How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small practical steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and making changes that support better sleep and daily routines.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, insomnia-related routines, and compulsive behaviors.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a method that supports processing painful memories and distressing experiences so they have less emotional charge. It is often used when trauma or difficult memories are affecting day-to-day life.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try methods that fit best. They may mix approaches over time so sessions match changing needs.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online care can make it easier to schedule appointments around work and caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and EMDR techniques to work in virtual sessions, focusing on skill practice, homework between meetings, and gradual progress toward goals.
