About Terrayce

Dr. Terrayce Hunter is a California clinical psychologist with 26 years of experience. She is licensed in California as CA Psychologist 17120 and has worked across a wide range of concerns including addictions, grief, depression, anxiety, and life stage changes.

She has extensive experience with family dynamics and parenting matters. She also focuses on aging and geriatric issues and the losses that can come with later life. Her background includes work with children, teens, and adults, and she uses psychological testing to gather information about personality and functioning.

In sessions she uses motivational questioning and practical skill building. That means she helps people identify strengths and then practices concrete skills to manage stress, mood, and behavior. She also draws on approaches that look at attachment and thought patterns to understand relationships and reactions.

People come to her when they feel stuck after a life change, worry about substance use, or need help managing strong emotions. She talks through current problems and suggests specific exercises and practices clients can try between meetings. Testing results are used to guide treatment decisions when appropriate.

Her work is direct and focused on everyday problems. She helps people consider what matters next and how to take small, realistic steps toward clearer direction. For scheduling, clients follow the site process to match and arrange a first session.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps people understand how they connect with others and how those patterns affect present relationships and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and practice new coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and then recommend or combine methods that fit your situation. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as clients try different strategies and report what helps.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use session time for focused skill practice, guided reflections, and reviewing psychological testing feedback when that is part of care.
