About Terry
Terry Sloan is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 22 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and life changes, and also addresses issues like trauma, depression, bipolar disorder, and LGBT-related concerns.
Terry describes her work as rooted in attachment theory and uses that perspective in individual counseling. She pays close attention to how people talk to themselves and how they communicate with others. Sessions often focus on building or strengthening support networks and improving everyday interactions.
She sees life transitions as key moments for change. That includes starting new chapters, ending old ones, and making different choices. Terry helps people notice options they may have missed and look at situations from fresh angles.
Her approach brings together attachment-based ideas with client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. This means sessions combine talk about relationship patterns, practical skills to manage thoughts and feelings, and time for people to set goals that matter to them.
Terry also uses narrative and existential perspectives when helpful, and draws on methods for relationship work when appropriate. She aims to help people clarify their values, make decisions, and handle common early-adult pressures such as career worries, identity questions, and changing relationships.
People who choose her often want clear conversation and practical steps alongside reflection on past patterns. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to review goals.
How attachment and CBT work in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns. Online work can focus on identifying attachment triggers and strengthening support networks for handling stress and relationship strain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. In remote sessions clients often practice simple exercises and homework between meetings to manage anxiety, mood, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean combining attachment ideas with CBT tools or introducing narrative and existential questions when people want to examine life choices and meaning.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit around classes, jobs, or caregiving by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose camera-off phone time if that feels calmer, or use video for deeper conversational work. Ask about formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
