Terry Sloan

Terry Sloan is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 22 years of experience. She listens closely to each person’s story and treats those stories as the starting point for change. Terry emphasizes clear, honest communication in sessions and helps people name what matters to them now.

She finds that transitions - painful endings and new beginnings - are often where growth begins. Terry draws on attachment ideas to help people strengthen relationships and their support networks. She pays attention to how people talk to themselves and to others, and she brings that into session work.

Terry uses practical approaches to address stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She also helps with sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and career questions. Her background includes work with trauma, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, and issues related to identity and belonging.

When divorce and separation are part of someone's story, Terry helps them sort through emotions and next steps at a manageable pace. She also works with people coping with abandonment, attachment struggles, blended family concerns, and caregiver stress. Her goal is to help people find clearer choices and more steady coping.

Terry practices in North Carolina and offers services in English. She welcomes international clients and aims to collaborate on realistic goals that fit each person’s life and values.

How Terry's approaches shape online work

Terry uses Attachment-Based approaches to look at how relationships influence feelings and choices, helping people build steadier support networks and stronger connections. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her work, which means sessions focus on the person's experience and goals with supportive listening and partnership. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Terry will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and she will adjust methods as needs change. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Please confirm current online session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - people sometimes schedule sessions around work breaks, reduce travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when needed. The therapist will help match a session rhythm that fits daily life and therapeutic goals.
