About Terri

Terri Davis is a licensed social worker who helps people facing relationship and family struggles. With 10 years of clinical experience, she supports people dealing with intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, life transitions, grief, anger, and career questions. Terri emphasizes practical steps and clear goals to make therapy feel useful from the start.

She believes each person knows their story best and brings strengths to work from. Sessions focus on identifying those strengths and building small, manageable changes. Terri aims to create a collaborative space where people can name what’s hard and try different ways of responding.

Her background includes work across several settings over a decade, which informs a flexible, down-to-earth style. Terri uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, the Gottman Method, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to match a person’s goals. She explains tools in plain language and practices skills together in session.

People often come for help with communication problems, commitment and control issues, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, and feelings of emptiness or shame. Terri also supports those affected by first responder stress and compassion fatigue. She works from Oregon and offers services in English.

Therapy with Terri is oriented toward practical problem solving and building confidence. She will work with each person to set priorities, try strategies, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

How Terri’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Terri uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often useful for mood, anxiety, and confidence struggles.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal reactions. DBT skills can be helpful when strong emotions or impulsivity make relationships harder.

The therapist treats finding the right method as a team effort. She will discuss goals and preferences, try approaches that match those aims, and adjust the plan together. Clients and therapist decide which tools feel most useful over time.
