Terri Pule , LCSW

Terri Pule, LCSW, helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, relationship strains, and women's issues. She focuses on practical support for life changes like divorce, caregiving stress, pregnancy and childbirth, and career transitions. Terri writes in clear, empathetic language and aims to make each session feel straightforward and useful.

Her style centers on listening first. She treats clients as the experts in their own lives and builds on existing strengths. Sessions often include goal-focused conversations and simple tools clients can try between meetings.

Terri draws from client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in the client's priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused techniques are added when they fit the client's goals.

She brings five years of practice as a licensed clinical social worker in Hawaii. Her background includes helping people cope with trauma, compassion fatigue, isolation, and the stresses of caregiving. She also supports issues around money, forgiveness, guilt, and finding life purpose.

Terri offers several ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. She aims to match the pace and format to what each person needs. The first step is a short questionnaire and a scheduled session to see if the match feels right.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist creates space for people to tell their story and helps them find their own next steps, which can be useful for self-esteem, life purpose, and identity concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thought patterns and testing them with practical exercises. It can help reduce anxiety, manage stress, and shift unhelpful beliefs about oneself.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose tools and methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean trying CBT exercises for a time, adding mindfulness practices, or staying mostly client-centered depending on needs.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow live interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, coaching-style support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or irregular schedules.
