About Frankie
Frankie Ter Keurst is a Florida-based licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She uses a warm, down-to-earth style and listens without judgment. Frankie aims to create clear, practical steps that fit each person's life and goals.
Frankie has six years of clinical experience and worked early on in an inpatient crisis stabilization center. That work included caring for people after traumatic events and collaborating with child welfare systems and intensive outpatient programs.
Background and approach
Those experiences shaped a steady, calm approach to higher-risk and complex situations. Her sessions blend straightforward techniques and longer-term emotional work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) may be used to address unhelpful thinking and build coping skills.
Attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused methods are used to look at how relationships and early experiences affect current feelings and patterns. Frankie also uses client-centered and mindfulness methods to help people feel heard and to build present-moment awareness. She tailors plans with the person in the room and adjusts pace based on what feels useful.
Practical homework and clear goals are common in her work. Frankie holds LPCC and Licensed Mental Health Counselor credentials and practices from Florida. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose the format that fits their routine.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Frankie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and learn concrete skills for mood and anxiety management. CBT often includes short exercises and practical homework that can be reviewed during video or text sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationships shape beliefs and patterns in current relationships, helping people improve communication and emotional connection.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Frankie partners with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts tools over time based on what proves most helpful. Clients can expect the therapist to discuss options and set clear, achievable goals together.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or have limited bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when written reflection is easier. These options let people fit therapy into daily life and keep momentum between appointments.
