About Terrie

Terrie Pittman is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and anger. She writes and talks plainly, and aims to make sessions a calm place to say what’s hard. Terrie welcomes straightforward concerns and offers steady support while people sort through change.

She uses practical tools drawn from Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and the Gottman Method. In sessions she helps people notice patterns, name feelings, and try small changes that can shift daily interactions.

Background and approach

Work often includes communication practice, coping skills for strong emotions, and steps to rebuild trust after hurts. With 15 years of clinical experience, Terrie has helped clients facing grief, separation, domestic violence recovery, and parenting strains. She also supports people dealing with codependency, blended family stress, caregiver burnout, infidelity, jealousy, and issues around commitment and forgiveness.

Her background includes premarital counseling and marriage maintenance work. Terrie aims for clear, practical sessions where people leave with something to try between meetings. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.

Sessions are arranged to match each person’s needs and timing. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. The first steps are simple - a few questions, then a scheduled time to talk and plan a path forward.

Online support

Attachment work and practical therapy online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. In plain terms it helps people understand why certain situations feel particularly threatening or painful and then try different ways of reaching out or setting boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns and manage anxiety or low mood. The Gottman Method centers on improving communication and trust in relationships through structured exercises and problem-solving techniques.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Terrie will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That often means mixing ideas - using attachment insight to name patterns, CBT tools to change thoughts, and Gottman-style exercises to practice speaking and listening differently.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to keep continuity between meetings and to fit brief updates into a busy day. These options help people access therapy around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
