About Terence
LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) in California with 16 years of experience. Terence Shigg helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, relationship issues, and struggles with self-esteem. He also offers executive-style coaching for motivation and confidence and supports people facing isolation, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose.
Terence works from the view that each person knows their own story. He looks for strengths clients already have and builds on them. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than jargon. Conversations are direct and oriented toward problem solving and skill building.
In practice he blends coaching with clinical work to help clients act differently in stressful moments. He uses goal setting, accountability, and conversations about behavior and thinking. This can include strategies for managing anger, reducing social anxiety, improving confidence, and handling relationship tensions.
Terence has spent most of his career in California settings that combine clinical care and professional coaching. That background means he can move between short-term coaching work and longer therapeutic discussions. He encourages clients to try small changes between sessions and to track what helps.
People who choose him should expect practical, plainspoken therapy focused on results. To start, he asks about current concerns, goals, and what has or hasn’t worked so far. From there he and the client set priorities and plan the next steps.

How his approaches translate to online work
Terence describes his work as a blend of practical coaching and evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach is goal-focused coaching that breaks larger aims into small, measurable steps; this helps when motivation, confidence, or executive functioning are the main issues. Another common thread is behavioral change work that looks at patterns of action and reaction and teaches concrete skills for managing anger, anxiety, or social situations.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. He will work with each client to identify priorities, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what produces real change. That collaborative stance means techniques are adapted to the client's goals and day-to-day life rather than imposed from the start.
Session formats are not specified in his biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit regular appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help people keep momentum between sessions and practice new skills in their everyday routines.
