About Terri

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience, Terri Gossett helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, career difficulties, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also focuses on concerns such as abandonment, blended family issues, body image, commitment and control issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, family of origin problems, guilt and shame, HIV/AIDS, infidelity, and isolation or loneliness.

Terri’s approach is interactive and client-centered. She combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing to shape conversations and goals. Sessions emphasize practical steps, perspective shifts, and building skills people can use between meetings.

In practice she avoids labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what a person wants to change. She adapts pacing and techniques to each person’s needs and readiness.

Terri has worked with adults across a wide age range, from young adults through senior citizens, in settings over her 15-year career. Her work includes addressing both emotional challenges and life transitions, such as career changes or separation.

People who choose her can expect a straightforward, goal-oriented style that blends talk, skill practice, and mindfulness. To begin, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking a first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed actions toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes because it pairs practical steps with acceptance strategies.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and helping people build coping skills that change day-to-day functioning.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience, with the therapist following the client’s lead and reflecting what matters most to them. This approach supports work on self-esteem, relationship concerns, and decision points.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help you and her decide which methods to emphasize based on your goals, preferences, and how you respond in early sessions. That collaborative process guides adjustments over time.

Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commuting time. People often find remote work helps maintain continuity across life changes while focusing on skills and behavioral steps that apply in everyday settings.
