Terria Alexander, LPC

Terria Alexander is a licensed professional counselor in Louisiana with 20 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD challenges, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and workplace strain. Her focus also includes coaching around life purpose, communication problems, forgiveness, and caregiver stress.

She uses clear, goal-oriented methods in sessions. Clients work on practical skills for day-to-day life. That may include breaking tasks into manageable steps, practicing new ways to speak up, or building routines that reduce overwhelm.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a core part of her work. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches ways to change unhelpful patterns. Sessions combine short-term problem solving with strategies you can use between meetings.

Her style is direct while remaining warm and nonjudgmental. She aims to create a space where people can talk honestly and try new approaches without pressure. Progress often comes from small, steady changes rather than quick fixes.

Terria supports clients who want coaching-style guidance as well as those seeking therapeutic work. She helps set clear goals, track progress, and adapt plans when life shifts. The focus is on practical steps that fit each person’s daily life.

How CBT and online sessions work together

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It teaches specific skills like breaking tasks into steps, challenging negative self-talk, and creating routines that reduce stress. This approach can help with anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, low self-esteem, and workplace stress.

Sessions are also coaching-oriented when needed, which means setting clear goals and tracking progress in practical ways. Coaching-style work can help with time management, motivation, and finding life purpose. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether more CBT techniques or coaching strategies fit their goals best.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter call is easier. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving between sessions, and flexible communication when schedules are tight.

Finding the right mix of methods and formats is part of the work. The therapist helps clients choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and daily routines. Using online options makes it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
