Frankie Ter Keurst, LPCC, LMHC

Frankie Ter Keurst is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing from Florida. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, relationship struggles, grief, and changes in life. Frankie aims to listen without judgment and meet each person where they are. Before offering online care she completed graduate internships and post-graduate work at an inpatient crisis stabilization center. That experience included work with people managing self-harm, personality challenges, ADHD, and the effects of physical or emotional abuse. She has collaborated with community programs and intensive outpatient services during that time. Frankie uses practical, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered techniques. Sessions focus on clear skills, emotion understanding, and changing unhelpful patterns. She adapts plans with client input so the work fits each person’s life. Her style is warm and direct. Conversations aim to build understanding, set achievable goals, and reduce daily distress. Frankie emphasizes respectful, nonjudgmental support and avoids labeling people by their struggles. She offers several remote formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People who choose her can expect collaborative goal-setting and practical tools to manage mood, relationships, or stressors.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Frankie often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and step-by-step skills that can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress in daily life.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps people understand how they connect with others and can improve communication and trust in relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Frankie works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and life situation. Together they try out techniques and adjust the plan based on what works in real life.

Online therapy here is available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, parenting, or other responsibilities.
