About Terri

Terri Gossett is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, career concerns, and ADHD. Terri also addresses compassion fatigue and life changes that can feel overwhelming.

She uses straightforward conversation and a collaborative style in sessions. Terri draws on cognitive behavioral methods and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are also part of how she helps people build small, practical changes.

Sessions focus on clear goals and steps clients can test between meetings. Terri pays attention to family of origin issues, relationship strains such as infidelity or separation, and problems like substance use or feelings of emptiness. She also addresses concerns around body image, commitment and control issues, and isolation or loneliness.

People meet to talk through what is most urgent, whether that is safety after domestic violence, coping with past abuse, or managing work stress. Terri aims to reduce obstacles that keep people stuck and to increase skills for handling everyday situations. The approach is interactive and practical, with room for emotional processing and problem solving.

Many clients benefit from simple behavioral experiments and mindfulness practice between sessions. Terri helps clients set realistic next steps and reviews progress as work continues. She works in English and practices across issues commonly seen in adult clients in Texas.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. Online ACT sessions often involve exercises to name difficult thoughts and plan small steps to act differently. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses short, practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method to clarify a person's goals and strengthen their motivation for change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to use and how to pace the work.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten some check-ins, or avoid travel time. It can also allow practice of grounding and mindfulness skills in real-life settings and make it simpler to schedule follow-up work between appointments.
