About Terri
Dr. Terri Robertson is a Texas psychologist (TX Psychologist 37152) with 24 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, sleeping problems, depression, relationship difficulties, anger, and self-esteem challenges.
She also works with concerns such as chronic pain and illness, first responder issues, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose questions, veteran and armed forces issues, and mood and panic disorders. Her practice includes work with phobias, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, social anxiety, somatization, and women's issues.
In sessions she uses practical, evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) guides changes in thinking and behavior. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify what matters most and builds momentum for change. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses wound-related memories and reactions.
Her way of working is straightforward. She talks with clients about their experiences and helps them try new approaches between sessions. Conversations are focused on specific problems that are causing distress now, and on small steps that can make daily life more manageable.
People who bring guilt or shame are invited to describe what they are feeling and where it shows up in their lives. The emphasis is on understanding those feelings and finding practical ways to reduce their weight over time. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and panic symptoms and gives concrete skills to practice between appointments.Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps clarify personal goals and strengthen motivation to make changes. It can help when someone feels stuck or conflicted about taking steps forward.
Trauma-Focused Therapy works with how past harm affects current reactions and daily functioning. It aims to reduce distress linked to traumatic memories and to rebuild a sense of control over triggers and symptoms.
Finding the best mix of these methods is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust methods as progress is tracked.
Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list them explicitly. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera at every session. Many licensed professionals use online work to maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations change.
