About Terry

Terry Petrovich is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 25 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She draws on cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapy techniques, alongside mindfulness and solution-focused strategies, to help clients address a wide range of concerns including ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, and career transitions. Terry has a particular interest in supporting people navigating life changes and those coping with stress, compassion fatigue, and mood-related challenges.

Her approach emphasizes practical skills, problem solving, and fostering self-compassion so clients can move toward clearer values and improved daily functioning. Terry has worked with issues that include domestic violence and divorce and brings training in mediation practices when separation and safety planning are relevant.

She aims to create an open-minded and supportive therapeutic environment, helping clients explore goals, build effective coping strategies, and cultivate greater self-acceptance over time.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Work



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to improve mood and functioning; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to help people manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive reactions.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will explore a client's goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges to tailor techniques and may combine elements of CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based strategies to meet specific needs. Clients are invited to provide feedback so the plan can be adjusted as progress unfolds.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or transportation constraints. These formats make it easier to practice skills between sessions and to maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations change, while still working with licensed professionals to pursue clear therapeutic goals.
