About Terry
Terry Schnoll brings 25 years of clinical experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, family conflicts, self-esteem struggles, ADHD-related focus issues, and those seeking coaching for work or personal goals.
Background and approach
She helps clients address communication problems, divorce and separation challenges, family problems, social anxiety and phobia, and concerns about motivation, concentration, and memory. Terry approaches these concerns through collaborative care that centers the client's goals and practical needs.
Licensed as an LCPC in Illinois, Terry creates a welcoming atmosphere intended to reduce judgment and encourage honest expression of thoughts and feelings. Her background in professional and executive coaching complements therapeutic work, enabling attention to both emotional coping and goal-directed skill building.
She recognizes that reaching out for help takes courage and aims to support each person through the early steps of starting therapy and throughout the process of change.
Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
Two evidence-based directions commonly used with Terry's areas of focus are brief coaching-oriented cognitive strategies and skills-based behavioral techniques. Cognitive strategies help identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel anxiety and low self-esteem, while practical coaching methods translate those insights into goal setting and motivation for daily functioning. Behavioral techniques emphasize gradual exposure and skill rehearsal to reduce social anxiety, improve concentration, and address phobia-related avoidance.Choosing the right combination of methods is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then adjusts the balance between coaching, cognitive work, and behavioral practice so interventions remain relevant and workable for each person.
Online therapy with this clinician uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase scheduling flexibility and accessibility. These options allow continuity of care across different routines and make it easier to integrate therapeutic practice into a busy life, while still focusing on measurable progress and practical tools for managing stress, attention, and family concerns.
