Terri Gossett, LPC

Terri Gossett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, and challenges like low self-esteem or major life changes. She also works with concerns such as compassion fatigue, ADHD, career stress, and relationship issues like infidelity or abandonment.

Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters most to each person. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity.

Terri uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to guide conversations and skills practice. She draws from cognitive behavioral methods to address unhelpful thinking patterns and from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clarify values and take meaningful action. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are used when helpful to improve focus and sustain change.

Therapy is tailored to individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all program. Terri will work with clients to build a plan that fits their goals and pace. Sessions often include goal-setting, problem solving, and short exercises to practice between meetings.

She aims to support people who want a more fulfilling life and to empower them to make change. If someone is ready to start, Terri offers a collaborative approach that focuses on practical steps and compassionate support.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Terri uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in practical, down-to-earth ways. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts and feelings show up. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

She also incorporates client-centered conversation and mindfulness practices to help people feel heard and develop steady attention to the present moment. Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative; the therapist will work with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences.

Confirm current session formats before booking to learn which online options are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, allow brief check-ins during a workday, and reduce the need for long commutes. The focus in sessions is practical - setting goals, practicing skills, and applying steps between meetings so therapy fits real life.
