About Terence

Terence Hunt is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who aims to help people take practical steps toward feeling better. He writes plainly and meets people where they are. His style is straightforward and focused on small changes that add up over time.

Clients who reach out often bring stress, anxiety, depression, or struggles with addiction. Terence also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, mood disorders, and relationship or career challenges.

Background and approach

He adapts his approach to what each person needs in the moment. Terence uses methods rooted in Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. That means he listens closely, helps people spot patterns in thinking and behavior, and supports motivation for change.

Sessions are practical and goal-oriented without losing sight of the person behind the problem. He has spent nearly three decades in counseling work and holds the LCMHC credential, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. His experience includes mental health and substance use settings.

Terence combines that background with an emphasis on building daily skills that make life more manageable. Terence works from North Carolina and offers work in English. He accepts international clients and provides appointments in several online formats.

Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule a first session based on his availability.

How therapeutic approaches fit online care

Terence uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful, accepting space so people can talk through what matters most. That approach helps when someone needs a steady, empathetic partner while figuring things out.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical tools. Online CBT sessions typically include brief skill-building, homework tasks, and steps to change daily routines, which can relieve anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Terence collaborates with each person to decide which method or combination will best match their goals, needs, and preferences. He adjusts techniques as progress is made so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy with Terence makes it easier to fit appointments into busy lives. Video calls let people work face to face from home, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer alternatives when schedules or comfort levels vary. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep momentum between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
