Frankie Ter Keurst , LPCC, LMHC

Frankie Ter Keurst is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing from Florida. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, parenting strains, and issues related to trauma and abuse. Frankie uses a warm, direct style and aims to offer a steady, respectful presence during hard moments.

She spent her graduate internship and post-graduate registered intern time at an inpatient crisis stabilization center. That work included supporting people facing self-harm, personality challenges, and complex mood concerns. Frankie has experience coordinating with community systems related to child welfare and intensive outpatient programs.

Her approach blends attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive-behavioral techniques. Sessions often include problem-solving, skill practice, and looking at how past relationships shape current reactions. She adapts conversations to fit what a person needs and asks for input on goals and pacing.

Frankie often helps people coping with addiction, bipolar symptoms, attention differences such as ADHD, and challenges like abandonment, codependency, or communication problems. She also supports someone navigating body image issues, blended family transitions, caregiver stress, and dissociation after trauma.

Frankie provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She brings six years of clinical experience and aims to make the work practical and understandable. If a person is ready to begin, she guides the next steps so they can schedule sessions that fit their life.

Practical approaches for online women's care

Frankie uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current expectations and reactions. This approach can help when worry, trust, or closeness patterns get in the way of current relationships. Client-centered therapy is another core part of her work and focuses on listening closely and letting the person's goals guide the pace and topics of therapy. It helps people feel heard and decide what matters most to change.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice different responses. CBT-style work often involves short exercises, behavioral experiments, and homework that people can fit into daily life. Together, Frankie and the client decide which approaches feel most useful, adjusting methods as needs and goals evolve in a collaborative process.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief reflections or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
