About Frankie
Frankie Ter Keurst is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with parents and individuals facing everyday strains. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to ease stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, grief, and major life changes. Frankie writes plans with clients and listens without judgment.
She draws on six years of clinical experience that includes time at an inpatient crisis stabilization center and post-graduate internship work.
Background and approach
That background exposed her to a wide range of concerns such as depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, ADHD, and relationship struggles. Her work has involved coordination with child welfare and intensive outpatient programs. Frankie’s style is warm and compassionate.
Sessions emphasize straightforward conversation, reflective listening, and goals set together. She avoids labels and centers respect and sensitivity in each interaction. Therapy sessions use a mix of methods chosen to fit the person’s needs.
Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Attachment-based ideas help when early relationships affect current parenting or intimacy. Mindfulness practices are introduced to build calm and focus.
Frankie offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make counseling fit a busy life. She holds LPCC and LMHC credentials and practices from Florida. Sessions are conducted in English.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand how bonding and trust affect parenting and close relationships, and offers ways to change those patterns. Cognitive behavioral therapy, often called CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behavior through small, concrete exercises.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Frankie will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try techniques that fit daily life, and adjust plans based on what helps. That means the work evolves together rather than sticking to a single method from the start.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversations. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick reflections, reminders, or ongoing support between sessions. These options help make therapy fit work, parenting, and other responsibilities while keeping the focus on practical change.
