About Terriee
Terriee Smith is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who offers practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. She listens closely and helps people find clear steps forward when life feels overwhelming. Her work also addresses sleep problems, grief, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and concerns about coping after disasters.
Smith uses approaches that combine acceptance, mindfulness, and action. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, increasing flexibility, and building skills that make day-to-day life easier. Conversations are practical and collaborative rather than full of jargon.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to help people clarify values and take meaningful steps even when feelings are hard. Mindfulness practices are introduced to reduce reactivity and improve present-moment awareness.
Smith’s background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and a Master of Science in Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. She has worked for 11 years supporting people with co-occurring issues and trauma-related concerns, including first responder and veteran issues.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters most to them and take small active steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and building resilience after stressful events. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new responses. CBT is practical for sleep problems, anxiety, and mood changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises that reduce reactivity and improve focus for everyday life.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That way sessions match what the client wants to try and what feels useful in daily life.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use practices between sessions in their everyday routines. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises to work well in virtual meetings or other formats once the available session types are confirmed.
