Frankie Ter Keurst is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She brings six years of clinical experience and aims to create a warm, respectful space for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, addiction, or parenting challenges.

Frankie often helps people who have faced trauma or emotional abuse and who need steady support after crisis-level care.

She has also collaborated with child welfare systems and intensive outpatient programs during her career.

Her style is compassionate and nonjudgmental. She listens closely and works with each person to set goals. Conversations and plans are adjusted to fit the client's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Frankie draws on several approaches, including attachment-focused work, cognitive-behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused methods, and mindfulness practices. Together with clients she identifies practical steps and coping strategies to manage emotions and improve daily functioning.

She offers support aimed at building understanding, improving communication, and helping people regain steadiness after difficult events.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape feelings and expectations. In sessions this means looking at patterns in close relationships and practicing new ways of relating that reduce fear and reactivity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to test new beliefs and feel better day to day. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions in important relationships and learning to express needs more clearly to improve connection.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients help prioritize what matters most so sessions stay practical and targeted.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules and more consistent check-ins when life is hectic. The biography notes video, phone call, and text message sessions, so confirm which of those options are currently available before scheduling. Many people like how remote sessions reduce travel time and make short, focused check-ins possible during a break or between commitments.
