Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Norcross, GA

Hello, my name is Teresa Carter and I go by Terri. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed by the state of Georgia, where I live and provide therapy across the state via telehealth. I primarily work with adults 18 and older experiencing anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, and relationship concerns. The modalities I most rely upon include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy-Mindfulness to help my clients progressively regain their life balance.

As a therapist specializing in mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), my approach is rooted in the belief that we often miss the beauty of life when we are too caught up in our minds. Growing up in Minnesota, I witnessed firsthand how mental health struggles can leave people feeling alienated and misunderstood, which fueled my passion for helping others. I am dedicated to creating a therapeutic environment where clients feel safe, valued, and supported as they work through their challenges.

Due to my own personal experience in therapy, I understand the need for a safe and accepting space to navigate tough times. I enjoy helping clients discover their needs and understand themselves deeply to achieve self-acceptance, make positive changes, and overcome obstacles that block the path to mental well-being. A client can expect to gain new insights at a comfortable pace in each session. Clients should anticipate being challenged to participate in deep self-exploration while being provided the tools needed to do the work and leave sessions feeling empowered.

I am a therapist with a passion for helping individuals navigate their unique journeys and learn how to be kind and compassionate with themselves. My therapeutic approach utilizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) , and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT). These approaches allow me to provide tailored support to each individual, helping them to confront and overcome their challenges.My expertise lies in exploring challenges related to body image, social anxiety, sexual concerns, sexuality, relationships, self esteem, trauma, anxiety, and suicidality.

Life can be challenging. Waking up dreading the day ahead, feeling disconnected from everyday joys, cringing as you begin your workday, unable to fix or face problems with what worked before, not being fully present in your own life, hiding your pain behind a smiling face and robotically wash-rinse-repeating your day, living more inside your head and your disappointments than in your purpose, or dragging yourself from one moment to the next. So many questions and challenges with no answers in sight. You want to feel better, and I want to help.
