About Terri
Terri Hipps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and major life changes.
Terri focuses on clear, practical conversation. She listens for what feels most urgent and helps people make step-by-step plans for handling it. Sessions are meant to be straightforward and grounded in the person's everyday life.
Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals. For people who have experienced trauma, she applies trauma-focused approaches to address safety, symptoms, and coping.
Terri has helped people manage relationship stress, caregiver strain, blended family concerns, and substance-related problems. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, aging issues, and difficulties tied to first responder work.
Her approach is practical rather than abstract. Conversations aim to clarify options, reduce overwhelm, and produce concrete steps someone can try between sessions. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the online intake flow.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow Texas LPC practice. International clients are not accepted at this time. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches used and how online sessions can work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own perspective and priorities. A therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps the person weigh choices. This approach is useful when someone feels stuck and needs clearer direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions are linked. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. This approach often helps with stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Together they adjust plans based on what helps most between sessions.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work or family life, allow shorter check-in visits when needed, and reduce travel time. If quieter surroundings or lower video bandwidth are important, discuss those needs when scheduling so the therapist can recommend an appropriate session format.
