About Teri
Teri Hines is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with issues such as addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices from Florida.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-focused. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is weighing change so they can find their own reasons to move forward. Solution-Focused Therapy helps identify small, practical steps that make daily life more manageable.
In sessions she encourages direct conversation about what is causing trouble, including intimacy, relationships, family concerns, and work stress. She also addresses sleep problems, self-esteem, and career challenges in practical ways. For people carrying guilt, shame, or the aftermath of trauma, she works on concrete coping strategies and ways to reduce reactivity.
Clients can expect an emphasis on skills and short-term strategies alongside deeper work when needed. She also supports issues linked to women’s health, post-traumatic stress, and compassion fatigue. The work aims to reduce overwhelming feelings and increase control over everyday responses.

How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy each have a clear role in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical skills to change them; it can be used to address anxiety, anger, sleep problems, and low mood. Motivational Interviewing focuses on resolving ambivalence about change and helps people find internal motivation for steps like reducing substance use or improving relationships. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable goals and on building what already works in day-to-day life.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. Some people use a mix of approaches across sessions as needs shift.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, support shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce the need to travel. These practical benefits can help people keep progress consistent while they work on anger, grief, addiction, or stress-related goals.
