About Terry
LCSW in New Jersey with 30 years of practice, Terry Jensen helps adults navigate stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, parenting strains, and trauma-related issues. She uses a mix of behavioral and psychodynamic work and draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered techniques. Sessions focus on what is affecting daily life now and practical ways to respond.
Terry frames therapy around how past experiences shape current reactions. She looks at patterns, then works to change unhelpful behaviors. That can mean learning new coping skills, practicing mindfulness, or revising thoughts that keep problems going.
Her background includes foster care, healthcare settings, and work with people who have disabilities. She has a Master of Social Work from Rutgers University and holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential in New Jersey (LCSW). She also completed a certificate at the Institute for Gestalt Therapy.
In sessions she uses short-term strategies alongside deeper exploration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to address anxiety and depression. Psychodynamic ideas help trace how early relationships influence today’s choices. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy support coping and values-driven action.
Practical concerns like caregiver stress, aging, end-of-life issues, adoption and foster care matters, and compassion fatigue are part of her caseload. She also addresses relationship matters such as infidelity, communication problems, and intimacy-related struggles.
Terry works with adults across adulthood. People can expect straightforward, session-by-session work aimed at clarifying problems and testing changes. To begin, follow the site’s matching and scheduling steps.

How Terry’s approaches are used in remote work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action while helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and uses practical exercises to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, validation, and working at the client’s pace to strengthen decision-making and self-direction. Choosing an approach is collaborative. Terry will talk with the client about their goals, try out techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. That process helps identify which methods best fit a person’s situation and preferences. The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel time. It also lets therapists use screen-based worksheets, guided mindfulness exercises, and structured behavioral assignments between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and client-centered work to remote sessions, focusing on practical steps the client can try between meetings.Sheet 3
