About Terri
Terri Asanovich is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her practice also focuses on communication problems, loneliness, questions about life purpose, and building self-love.
Terri keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens to what feels most pressing and works with clients to identify small, doable steps. Conversations aim to clarify what matters now and what might change next. She uses familiar techniques from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different ways of thinking and acting.
Her approach also draws on existential ideas that look at meaning and choice. That helps when major life changes leave someone feeling stuck or unsure what comes next. Solution-focused methods are used to set short-term goals and track small gains between sessions.
Terri’s style is direct and conversational. She encourages honest talk about feelings and situations. Practical tools and short exercises are often part of sessions so people can practice outside of therapy.
Sessions are provided in English and conducted from her California practice. People interested in starting are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin the process.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Terri uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often practical and focused on skills for managing anxiety, mood, and stress. She also draws on existential therapy to look at meaning, choice, and what matters after major life changes; this can be useful for people asking what comes next in work or relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss your goals and preferences and try methods that fit what you want to address. That collaborative process helps decide whether to lean more on CBT, existential reflection, mindfulness exercises, or solution-focused steps as therapy unfolds.
The therapist's original biography does not list the exact online or in-person session formats offered. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online sessions can help fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to add short check-ins between work or family commitments. Phone sessions can work when a quieter setting is easier or when bandwidth is limited, and video sessions allow for face-to-face conversation when preferred. Licensed professionals adapt session length and structure to match practical needs and daily life.
