Terri Grumieaux, LCSW

Terri Grumieaux is a licensed clinical social worker with more than two decades of experience helping people navigate hard moments. She works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, addiction, and compassion fatigue. Terri values straightforward conversation and practical steps that fit into everyday life.

She sees the person, not just the problem. Terri believes each person knows important things about their own story and brings strengths to therapy. Sessions focus on building on those strengths while creating small, achievable changes that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered ideas. That means clients can expect a mix of practical skills, reflection on values, and supportive listening. Terri also uses strategies from dialectical behavior work and emotionally-focused methods when helpful.

Terri has 26 years of professional experience in Indiana as an LCSW. She works in plain language so people can put new skills into practice quickly. Parents and busy adults often appreciate a clear plan and doable homework between sessions.

Therapy often covers worries like panic and social anxiety, struggles with self-esteem and self-love, communication problems, and life transitions such as postpartum depression or seasonal mood shifts. Terri also supports people coping with trauma, forgiveness work, infidelity, and challenges related to intellectual disability.

Her style is warm and practical. She aims to help people feel steadier, think more clearly, and take actions that match their values.

Approaches you can use online

Therapy with Terri often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as two practical ways to address problems. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more effective habits to reduce anxiety, panic, and depression. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them while learning to accept difficult internal experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Terri will work together with each person to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That collaboration helps tailor exercises and check-ins so they feel relevant and doable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video sessions let people practice skills and notice reactions in real time, phone calls can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to make consistent work on goals easier to maintain.
