Ida Terry, LPC

Ida Terry is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 22 years of experience based in Oregon. She focuses on concerns such as anger, relationships, addiction, grief, parenting, depression, trauma, and issues related to intimacy and self-esteem. Ida works with adults who want practical ways to reduce reactivity and improve how they relate to others.

Ida uses clear, behavior-focused methods in session. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when patterns of thinking and acting keep people stuck. Motivational Interviewing helps when change feels difficult or when substance use is part of the problem.

Her background includes work with veterans, first responders, and people navigating multicultural or discrimination-related stress. Ida’s profile notes additional focus areas such as blended family issues, codependency, control issues, process addictions, and domestic violence concerns. Those topics often come up alongside anger and relationship strain.

Ida references faith-informed ideas for clients who want that perspective, while also using narrative and existential approaches to help people make meaning after loss or major life shifts. She has training related to addiction and veteran culture and applies that experience to practical goal-setting and decision-making.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and action-oriented. Clients can expect to talk through recent events, identify patterns that fuel anger, and practice small behavior changes that reduce escalation. Ida also works on rebuilding trust and repairing relationships over time.
