About Terry
Terry Sloan is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 22 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, trauma and a wide range of life changes including compassion fatigue and issues related to LGBT identity.
Terry takes a direct, conversational approach in sessions. She listens for patterns in how people talk to themselves and how they relate to others. She focuses on attachment themes and on practical communication skills that can be used between sessions.
She sees transitions as moments of possibility. When routines shift or relationships change, she helps people notice new choices. That often means looking at past relationship patterns, understanding attachment reactions, and practicing different ways of asking for support.
Terry blends several approaches in a way that aims to fit the person in front of her. She uses elements of cognitive behavioral work to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts. She also uses client-centered methods to follow what feels most important to each person in the room.
Sessions include talking through specific problems such as panic attacks, sleep disruption, anger, and low self-esteem. She also works on longer standing themes like abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, and forgiveness. Her style is straightforward and focused on skills people can try between meetings.
She accepts clients who speak English and is open to working with international clients. Practical details about scheduling and the first steps are handled through the site's session sign-up flow.
How Terry’s approaches translate to online work
Terry combines attachment-based ideas with client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people build more reliable ways of asking for support. Client-centered methods focus on listening and following what matters most to the person in the room, using conversation to clarify values and goals. Cognitive behavioral work breaks down difficult thoughts and behaviors into manageable steps and offers specific exercises to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Terry will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. That collaborative decision helps decide which methods to use and how to pace sessions.
