About Terriee
Terriee Smith is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, depression, and related concerns. She brings calm, direct support and practical tools so people can take smaller steps toward feeling better. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills people can use between appointments.
Smith emphasizes mindfulness and acceptance alongside problem-focused work. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavior approaches, and client-centered methods to help people notice thoughts and take useful action. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people are ready to change habits or tackle addictions.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and a Master of Science in Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. Those degrees are paired with 11 years of professional experience working with a range of mental health concerns and overlapping issues like co-morbidity and caregiver stress.
In practical terms sessions often include short skill practice, goal setting, and talking through difficult moments. The tone is collaborative and straightforward, with adaptations made to fit each person’s life and needs. Smith aims to build resilience and gradually increase confidence rather than promise quick fixes.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and making changes that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to reduce worry, improve mood, and change habits. Client-Centered Therapy offers a listening, nonjudgmental space where the person’s goals lead the work and the therapist follows their pace.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to see which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may blend approaches so the plan matches what someone wants to achieve and how they prefer to work.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, and the ability to use mindfulness or homework exercises between appointments. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are currently offered before booking. The focus is on making therapy fit everyday life while using ACT, CBT, and client-centered tools to address stress, sleep challenges, and mood concerns.
