About Ida

Ida Terry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of clinical experience supporting individuals, families, and couples through addiction, grief, trauma, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and major life transitions. She approaches care with cultural responsiveness and collaboration, respecting each client’s values while combining behavioral and collaborative therapies with informed biblical principles to address both symptoms and deeper patterns.

She is dually licensed as a Professional Counselor and an Alcohol Counselor and holds a Master of Arts degree in Counseling. Her advanced training includes a two-year Advanced Certificate in Internal Family Systems theory and a Certificate of Achievement in the Addiction Treatment of Military & Veteran Culture, which informs work with veterans, first responders, and those affected by substance or process addictions.

Ida works strategically with diverse clients on issues such as codependency, domestic violence, intimacy-related concerns, bipolar disorder, parenting and blended family dynamics, and coping with life changes. She supports clients in exploring past wounds, managing anger and resentment, and adopting a growth-oriented mindset at a pace that feels safe and practical. Ida blends clinical training and lived experience to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client’s lead, helping people explore feelings and values to find their own solutions. This approach can be especially useful for relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and offers practical tools to address depression, anxiety, trauma responses, and addictive behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method designed to strengthen a person’s own motivation for change, which is often helpful for substance use, process addictions, and ambivalence about change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ida works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or connect across distances. These options can increase accessibility and allow therapists and clients to continue consistent work on relationships, recovery, grief, and other concerns without requiring in-person visits.
