About Frankie
Frankie Ter Keurst is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with six years of experience. She practices from Florida and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting strain, addiction, bipolar concerns, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and related issues.
Frankie draws on straightforward conversation and active listening. She frames therapy around practical steps people can try between sessions. Sessions often include looking at thoughts and behaviors, noticing patterns in attachment and relationships, and using mindfulness to manage strong feelings.
Her background includes graduate internship and post-graduate registered intern work at an inpatient crisis stabilization center. That experience exposed her to a wide range of needs, including emotional and physical trauma, self-harm, interpersonal violence, and coordination with child welfare systems and court processes.
Frankie uses several approaches together instead of relying on a single method. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used to challenge unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas help examine how early relationships affect current connections and conflicts.
She emphasizes working with the person’s own perspective and goals. Conversations are shaped by what the person brings and by simple tools they can use right away. The profile lists guilt and shame among the concerns she helps people with, alongside family and attachment work.
Frankie offers sessions by video, phone call, and text message. Prospective clients who wish to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How her methods translate to online sessions
Frankie draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT uses practical exercises and small experiments that can be reviewed during video or phone sessions to track progress and problem-solve specific situations.She also uses attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. These approaches focus on relational moments and emotions, and they can be discussed and reflected on in conversation during sessions to improve communication and emotional understanding.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That planning happens together and can change as the work evolves.
The profile states she offers video, phone call, and text message sessions, so confirm the current mix of formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or family, allow shorter check-ins when a full session feels like too much, and let people choose whether to be on camera or not. Practical considerations like quieter surroundings, bandwidth, and session length are discussed when setting up appointments to fit therapy into everyday life.
