Frankie Ter Keurst, LPCC, LMHC

Frankie Ter Keurst is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain, grief, and parenting concerns. Frankie listens with warmth and respect and aims to create a space where people can talk about hard things without being judged.

Frankie brings six years of clinical experience, including work in an inpatient crisis stabilization center during her graduate internship and post-graduate registered intern period. She has supported people coping with self-harm, personality disorders, ADHD, and those who have experienced physical or emotional abuse. Her background includes collaborating with child welfare services, the Baker Act court system, and intensive outpatient programs.

Her approach blends several methods to suit each person's needs. She uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. Emotionally-focused and client-centered elements guide the therapy toward clearer communication and compassionate listening.

Sessions are shaped together so the plan matches each person’s goals. Frankie emphasizes practical steps, honest conversation, and building skills for coping with life changes. She also helps people facing co-occurring issues like substance use and mood disorders.

If someone wants to begin, they will fill a short questionnaire and schedule a time that fits. Frankie offers phone, video, and text message sessions as part of her practice.

How therapy approaches shape online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and behaviors. It helps people who struggle with trust, closeness, or recurring relationship problems by exploring connection and emotional responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior in small, concrete steps. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Frankie will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Decisions about focus and techniques are made collaboratively and can shift as needs change.

Frankie provides online options described in her profile, including video, phone, and text message sessions. Before booking, confirm the current session formats and scheduling options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter phone check-ins during a work break, video sessions for face-to-face conversation, or text messages for brief ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to help people keep progress steady while balancing everyday demands.
