About Terra
Terra Ogle brings 21 years of experience in behavioral health to her work as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW).
Background and approach
She earned both her undergraduate degree and Master of Social Work from the University of Illinois and has focused much of her practice on depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and trauma. Terra describes her approach as warm and supportive and frames herself as a guide who helps clients identify and pursue the issues they want to address.
Grounded in social work values, she attends to both internal change and the influence of a person’s environment, emphasizing existing strengths while helping clients develop new coping skills.
Terra frequently uses cognitive behavioral techniques to explore the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and works to trace the roots of anxiety so the body and mind can find greater calm. Her growing focus on trauma draws on knowledge of how traumatic experiences affect mood and behavior, offering alternative perspectives for healing.
Sessions with Terra are collaborative and reflective, with the expectation that clients take an active role in their therapy. She combines empathy, gentle challenge, and occasional humor to create a supportive space for meaningful change.
Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own perspective and goals, inviting the person to lead the work while the therapist offers empathy and reflective listening; this approach supports self-directed growth and is helpful for a wide range of concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress, offering practical strategies for anxiety, depression, and mood management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can be particularly useful when strong emotional reactions interfere with daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Terra works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to adapt methods over time so the therapeutic plan fits the person rather than forcing a single technique. This collaborative attitude helps ensure interventions match what the client finds most useful.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and for connecting from different places. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver ongoing support and skills training while accommodating varied communication styles and day-to-day schedules.
