Terriee Smith, LMHC

Terriee Smith is a Florida licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and addiction-related concerns. She supports clients dealing with sleep problems, low self-esteem, anger, grief, and the challenges of major life changes. Terriee brings 11 years of experience to her work and uses practical strategies to help people move forward.

She relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques to create straightforward plans tailored to each person. Sessions focus on clear goals, simple skills to practice between meetings, and honest conversation about what is and isn’t working. The tone is respectful, direct, and aimed at building coping skills that fit daily life.

Terriee trained at Nova Southeastern University where she earned a Master of Science in Counseling, and she holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Central Florida. Her credential is LMHC, which means Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. That background informs a practical, evidence-minded approach to care.

She also attends to related concerns such as caregiver stress, body image, codependency, and issues that can follow disaster or military service. People who bring complex or overlapping problems - for example addiction with mood concerns or trauma with sleep disruption - will find an approach that addresses multiple areas together.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online in a range of formats. Terriee works with adults in Florida and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.

How CBT and ACT support online work

Terriee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and mood swings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy blends mindful awareness with values-based action to help people tolerate discomfort while moving toward what matters to them.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. That means treatments may combine skills training, mindful exercises, and motivational conversations to address complex or overlapping concerns like addiction plus mood symptoms.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and guided exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people send notes or practice reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work and family routines while keeping progress steady.
