About Frankie
Frankie Ter Keurst is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with six years of clinical experience. She practices from Florida and works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting strain, ADHD, trauma and addictions.
Frankie completed her graduate internship and post-graduate registered intern experience at an inpatient crisis stabilization center. That work involved supporting people in acute distress and coordinating with systems such as the Department of Children and Families and court processes related to emergency detention laws. She has also worked with intensive outpatient programs.
Her background includes work with people who have experienced physical trauma and emotional abuse. Frankie has supported clients coping with self-harm, personality disorder presentations, mood disorders including bipolar symptoms, grief, and complex family dynamics. She also helps people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family stress, and caregiver burnout.
In session she draws from several clinical approaches to guide conversations and goals. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address patterns of thinking and behavior. Attachment-based ideas inform how relationship patterns and early attachments affect current difficulties. Emotionally-focused and client-centered elements help people process feelings and strengthen emotional expression.
Frankie aims to work collaboratively with each person on practical steps they can try between sessions. She offers sessions by video, phone call, and text message. Before booking, clients should confirm which session formats are currently offered.
Approaches you might use in online sessions
Frankie uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and try practical changes. CBT often focuses on small experiments and skill practice that can reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also draws on attachment-based approaches to look at how past relationship experiences shape current reactions. That can help with relationship stress, communication problems, and fears around abandonment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frankie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That means checking in about what feels useful and adjusting techniques as sessions progress.
Her profile lists video, phone call, and text message sessions; confirm which of these formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a school or work schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let someone choose whether to use video or not depending on how they want to engage. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep regular contact and build on skills between meetings.
