About Terry
Terry Sloan is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 22 years of experience. She listens for the stories people bring and helps them notice the small moments that point the way forward. Her work centers on life changes, relationships, and managing stress and anxiety.
Terry believes growth often happens during transitions. She helps people see new choices when old paths close or shift. Sessions focus on how clients talk to themselves and how they talk with others so communication improves both inside and outside therapy.
Background and approach
Attachment ideas shape much of her work. Terry uses those ideas to help people strengthen or build supportive connections. That can be helpful when facing grief, caregiver strain, or the aftermath of trauma and abuse.
She draws on Narrative Therapy and cognitive tools to help people rewrite unhelpful stories and test different ways of coping. Client-centered time gives space for feelings about identity, depression, bipolar disorder, LGBT concerns, and self-esteem to be named and explored. Practical skills are woven into sessions, including ways to manage panic, sleep problems, anger, and seasonal mood changes.
Terry also supports people dealing with career decisions, divorce and separation, or questions about life purpose. She works with people across a wide range of emotional concerns to help them move toward clearer, more manageable next steps.

Online session options
Using Narrative and Attachment Work Online
Many of Terry’s tools translate well to online care. Narrative Therapy invites people to tell their stories and notice patterns they want to change; it helps with identity, self-esteem, and moving past old labels. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships shaped someone’s expectations and helps build stronger supports for coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Terry collaborates with people to choose which methods fit best for their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That plan can change over time as goals shift and new challenges appear.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, journaling between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
