About Terra
Dr. Terra Griffin is a licensed professional counselor with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, and changes in motivation and self-esteem. She approaches each person with respect and the expectation that they know their life best.
That belief shapes how she listens and responds in sessions. Her style is straightforward and supportive. She helps people name problems, learn coping skills, and try small changes that add up.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than jargon or long explanations. Dr. Griffin uses methods that match the issue at hand, including approaches that look at thoughts, behavior, and relationships.
She also works with attachment concerns to help people understand how early connections influence current patterns. This mix allows her to tailor work for stress, trauma, or relationship stressors brought by life transitions. Over two decades she has supported people facing caregiver strain, codependency, communication struggles, divorce and separation, and challenges tied to veteran and first responder work.
She also addresses feelings of emptiness, guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose and midlife change. Therapy with her can include learning new coping tools, practicing different ways of interacting, and making plans to move forward. She invites a collaborative approach where goals are clear and progress is tracked step by step.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Dr. Griffin commonly draws on the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online work. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication patterns and reducing conflict, helping people practice clearer conversations and rebuild connection. ACT helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them while committing to actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current behavior and helps people develop new ways of relating and feeling safe in relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and personal style. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice communication skills. Phone sessions are good for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can support quick reflections, skill practice between sessions, or ongoing check-ins without needing to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
