More about me

Licensing: LPC Years in Practice: 11 State: Georgia

Hello! My name is Teresa “Terri” Carter; but everyone calls me Ms. Terri. I am a counselor licensed by the state of Georgia where I work and live. I currently work with individuals that are living with mental health concerns, challenged by emotional health concerns, and/or battling substance use difficulties. While my therapeutic approach varies according to the person, presenting concern, and/or goal, it is always warm and interactive. I am committed to establishing a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients built upon trust, rapport, and mutual respect. Therapeutic approaches I rely upon the most include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Trauma Informed Care (TIC), and person-centered approaches.

I look forward to assisting you in working through whatever is challenging or interfering with you “living your best life.”

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

I have the best connection with ms. Terry. She understands me and doesn’t judge me. She keeps me on track with my growth!

Ms. Terri is full of wisdom and no-nonsense guidance that always sets me back on the course of self-compassion. She has helped me manage the stress of daily life and parse out unhelpful thinking. We've been working together for more than three years now and she's an invaluable part of my mental health care plan!

Miss Terri has helped me grow so much. She has been there through thick and thin. She knows personalities very well, which makes her great for navigating difficult relationships. She taught me about alcoholism, self love, forgiveness, radical acceptance and so much more. She stays on task and offers comfort naturally. She is free of judgement and full of knowledge. I know I will continue to grow with her help. I am so grateful for her!

She’s a very good listener and always has answers to my questions. She never makes me feel uncomfortable to share anything and she is very helpful

I have really been enjoying my sessions with Teresa! She is easy to talk to & gives useful advice. Just a couple of sessions with her have been very eye-opening & empowering! Talking with her is giving me the extra motivation I was hoping for, to make choices I feel good about; on the inside & out.

I have already mentioned Better Help to friends and colleagues.

Ms.Terri made me feel so comfortable so quick. After our first session I literally could not wait to meet with her again. She is understanding, empathetic, honest, and caring. Her homework is relevant to what your goals are and she truly helps you tackle whatever it is you are having trouble with. I am so glad my first therapy experience was with her. Don't hesitate to start your journey with her!

Love her

Ms Teresa has been my bugging support system ever since I started talking to her. She is empathetic, and so understanding. She knows exactly what she’s doing and it works

Calm demeanor she listens intently and listens to respond rather than to react

She listens and quickly gives an objective perspective on things. I like that.

I have worked with Teresa for the last 6 months. She is honest, compassionate and offers suggestions that are immediately useful. She had helped me immensely and I absolutely give her the highest recommendation.

After beginning my journey with Ms. Carter last year I can honestly say it's been one of the best choices I've made I'm my life, Ms. Terri is a compassionate thoughtful and wonderful person very nice and very sweet. Do not mistake her kindness for weakness she will also be fair and call me out when it's warranted like. Thanks to her I've learned a lot more about myself through thoughtful discussion and have become a better version of myself. I could not be happier that she is my therapist and my friend.

Thank you so much for all you have taught me! You have impacted my growth tremendously. I am excited to continue this journey with you!

Teresa is so helpful, she listen to me and always gives me something to work on after our session. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family. I look forward to meeting with her every time

I love talking to Teresa

Teresa is great. She's very supportive and insightful. I'm glad she is my therapist.

Always leaves me feeling better than I came and with more knowledge!

She has helped me alot. I got over my addiction. She's helping me one day at a time and I never been happier.

Ms. Terri is great! A really good listener and helpful storyteller. She takes the time to understand your specific needs and remembers things you have shared with her in the past. She offers helpful homework and tools to think further about what you're working through in between sessions. I highly recommend working with her! In just a few short weeks I've definitely noticed a lot of changes because she empowers me to realize I have the tools to figure things out myself and she is here to help/hear how I am doing and provide suggestions along the way.

Teresa is extremely knowledgeable, shows genuine concern and is dedicated to her work and patients she helped me transition through a very difficult time in my life. Her words resonate with me daily as I try to navigate through this next phase in my personal and professional life. Her input has been invaluable and I’m truly grateful for all she does!

Wonderful person and genuinely cares, I could not have been paired with a better person

Terri is a savage. Honest, Empathetic and as real as it gets. Her life experiences shine through such that you will feel heard, seen, and respected. But this is not to say she shy’s away from keeping me accountable. A delicate balance of tough love, all the while keeping your end goal in sight, steering you gently in the right direction. Unapologetically truthful, with ample support and strategies to cope with and conquer those truths. That’s what Terri can do.

Ms. Terri has been a wonderful therapist. I never feel judged, she has a great personality, and I get appropriate homework assignments. She asks good questions and I feel like I am understood.

Ms. Terri really pulled me out of one of my lowest moments. I really can't say enough good things about her. She's smart, she's insightful, she's kind, and she really knows how to make you feel validated and heard. It was so great to talk to someone who made me feel like I was strong enough to carry the weight of what I was going through and helped me process difficult emotions.

She is absolutely wonderful!!

I had the pleasure of being matched with my therapist Ms. Terri, about 6 months ago. Starting therapy can be scary, but Ms. Terri instantly made me feel comfortable. She is professional, competent, smart, empathetic, warm and funny. I thoroughly enjoyed my sessions with her, which felt more like talking to a best friend than a therapist. She knew which direction to guide me to, when I felt lost. She believed in me when I had trouble believing in myself. Her gentle push, helped me to take steps in life, which will benefit me for years to come. I’m so happy I chose to invest in myself and was lucky enough to work with Ms. Terri.

Wonderful therapist!

Is a wonderful and thoughtful person, she is respectful and will challenge you but in the best way possible, I could not have been paired with a better person

I have been dealing with chronic pain that has been debilitating both mentally and physically for many months now. I have a major surgery coming up and Ms. Terri has helped me get in the right mental head space to cope with these life changes. She truly listens and gives me some great tools and practices to put into place in my day to day living. She has a very kind and compassionate way about her totally without judgment as well and has helped me understand the importance of self care.

Dr. Carter always leaves me feeling empowered and ready to accept any issues that worry me.

Ms. Terri has been wonderful! I’m really excited she is a part of my journey to being a better person.

Theresa is a great therapist. I look forward to our sessions, I come out with a different perspective and clarity.

I was going through a super rough patch and I could not have gotten through it without Ms. Terri. I am so grateful for her and her help. I am en route to live my fullest and happiest life.

Teresa is a great therapist. She understands my concerns and gives resources and actionable advice to change my negative habits. She's compassionate, approachable, and very knowledgeable in her field. She approaches therapy in a positive manner. I would definitely recommend her.

I love speaking to Teresa. She is amazing, she listens, checks in with me and prioritizes me and my concerns. Thank you Teresa

All I have to say is. She is worth every penny.

Teresa is lovely. She reminded of me of an aunt more than a therapist. She listens and knows exactly how to explain things in better words so I understand. Thank you Teresa, you are awesome!!

Ms. Terri is kind, experienced, thoughtful and thorough. She has helped me work toward my goals of taming my negative self-talk, being a more peaceful and present mom, and letting go of my imposter syndrome. She offers empathic advice that is no nonsense and grounded in truth.

Ms. Terri is a godsend! I'm thankful to have her in my life. She uses her variety of expertise & compassion to help me cope, heal & learn new habits to deal with the issues in my past & present. I look forward to working with her as long as I can. I would refer her to ANYONE that I ethically could because she's very good at what she does.

Ms Terrie is the best! She’s more than a therapist, she’s very motherly and makes me feel at home more and more with each session! She is a very active listener and I feel that she genuinely understands/focuses on the problems I share with her. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better!

Ms. Terri is the sweetest, most compassionate, and relatable person. She was my first ever therapist and I can truly say I am lucky and blessed to have to been paired with her through BetterHelp. I can confidently say that she was born to be a therapist. She listens. She cares. Her advice is constructive and sustainable. She has a heart of gold and it warms my heart to know that she touches the lives of so many people. I not only recommend her services, I advise them to anyone in need of counseling.

very sweet lady. listens for understanding & offers helpful suggestions, worksheets & practices to implement.

Teresa is wise and “gets it”. She offers her insight, experience and support to help maneuver through life’s many challenges. I like her and enjoy her and value her input. I feel safe and affirmed without judgement. We are a good match.

Great helpful

My particular counselor is really superb. I am very picky. I can spot a counselor who is just going through the motions from a mile away. Ms Terri really cares. She remembers things I have said in the past. She doesn't condemn or judge. She is a handsome black woman who exudes love and beauty. I trust her with my deepest secrets. She is truly gifted. And , honestly, I am very astute about people and very picky about who I allow into my life.

Ms. Terry has wonderful pep-talk energy that'll inspire you to keep going! She's a great balance of both someone who listens and also gives great feedback. She's uplifted the way I feel about myself and is a wonderful source of support that I value/didn't know I needed. Very grateful to have been matched with her!

Teresa is an invaluable resource. She’s thoughtful, kind and an expert. She has provided the best counseling available.
