About Frankie

Frankie Ter Keurst is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She brings a warm, straightforward approach and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strains, relationship problems, trauma, and substance concerns. Frankie listens without judgment and works with clients to set practical goals they can use between sessions.

Frankie completed her graduate internship and post-graduate registered intern experience at an inpatient crisis stabilization center. She has worked with people coping with self-harm, personality challenges, ADHD, and those who have experienced physical or emotional abuse. Her background includes collaboration with the Department of Children and Families, the Baker Act court system, and several intensive outpatient programs.

In sessions she blends several approaches to fit each person’s needs. She uses elements of cognitive behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thinking, client-centered techniques to keep conversations focused on the person, and attachment-based ideas to look at close relationships and patterns. Mindfulness skills are woven in to help with stress and emotional regulation.

Frankie aims to tailor treatment plans with client input and clear steps. She emphasizes respect and sensitivity and avoids labeling people by their struggles. She encourages small, steady changes and practical tools that can be applied to daily life.

Frankie has six years of clinical experience and holds licensure as an LPCC and an LMHC. She conducts sessions in English and works from Florida.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Frankie uses mindfulness practices to help people notice and tolerate difficult feelings, calm stress responses, and build simple daily habits for emotional regulation. These skills can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

She also brings attachment-based ideas into conversations to look at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions. That work can help with communication problems, trust issues, and patterns that recur in relationships.

The right approach is often discovered together. Frankie collaborates with each person to choose techniques and goals that fit their needs and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Because this therapist offers video, phone call, and text message sessions, people can pick formats that suit their schedule, comfort with being on camera, or need for a shorter check-in. Confirm the available session options before booking so they match your routine and goals.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
