Brandy Terry , LMHC

Brandy Terry is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Utah with 12 years of experience in the mental health field. She holds a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling, which led to her clinical licensure in the state. Over more than a decade she has developed expertise in individual, couples, parent, and family therapy, with focused experience in trauma treatment, substance abuse support, attachment and family dynamics, and grief and loss.

Brandy aims to create a safe, compassionate space where people can consider the changes they want and learn practical ways to overcome current obstacles. She combines empathy with direct honesty, believing that most people are doing the best they can and sometimes benefit from supportive guidance to move forward. Her work emphasizes collaboration - helping each person decide what changes matter most and how to take the next steps.

A native Utah resident, Brandy draws strength from a creative spirit and from her dog, Coda. She has lived experience both in and outside of the LDS church and currently leads a parenting group that connects her with local families. Her practice reflects a commitment to helping others navigate stress, trauma, relationship challenges, and the everyday demands of life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Brandy integrates attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her work. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer, more secure ways of relating - it is often helpful for attachment issues, family dynamics, and relationship concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and respect, giving people a supportive space to explore their values and choices while the therapist follows the client’s lead. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Brandy works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods over time so the work aligns with what is most helpful for that individual or family.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow people to access licensed professionals from home or other locations, and support ongoing communication between sessions when needed.
