About Terrayce

Dr. Terrayce Hunter is a California-licensed psychologist with more than two decades of clinical experience. She focuses on practical work with families, parenting challenges, addiction, mood concerns, and life transitions.

Parents find her straightforward and calm when talking through stressful moments at home. She has worked with children, teens, and adults and pays particular attention to aging and geriatric concerns. That includes grief and loss that can come with later life and caregiving stress.

Background and approach

Her background includes psychological testing, which she uses to clarify personality patterns and guide treatment choices. In sessions she uses motivational questioning to help people see their strengths. She also teaches skills you can practice at home.

Conversations are meant to be clear and usable, not full of jargon. Her clinical training includes attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral therapy, which she blends with client-centered listening. That mix helps address relationships, parenting conflicts, anxiety, and compulsive behaviors.

Therapy aims to build tools for coping and improve day-to-day functioning. With 26 years of experience and a California psychologist license (CA Psychologist 17120), she brings a long view to family patterns and life stage changes. Parents and caregivers looking for steady, experienced guidance will find a practical focus and respectful tone in her work.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online family care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. It looks at patterns between caregivers and children and helps improve trust and communication in family relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down thoughts and actions into manageable steps and teaches skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful behaviors. Motivational Interviewing uses curious, open questions to help people find their own reasons for change and to build commitment to new habits. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each family or parent about goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend options. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the situation and the pace a family can manage. Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls let therapists observe interactions and hold face-to-face conversations when needed. Phone sessions and live chat work well for shorter check-ins, while text-based messaging supports ongoing coaching and reminders between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into school schedules, caregiving demands, and daily life.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
