About Brandy

Brandy Terry is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Utah with 12 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She holds a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and has built a practice informed by trauma treatment, substance use concerns, attachment and family dynamics, grief and loss, and a broad range of life stressors. Her approach blends evidence-based methods with an empathic, straightforward manner that helps clients identify goals and take practical steps toward change.

She emphasizes creating a welcoming space where clients can choose the changes they want and work through obstacles at their own pace. Brandy draws on Internal Family Systems alongside attachment-based and client-centered approaches, and integrates CBT and DBT techniques when useful to address symptoms and build coping skills.

Outside of her clinical work she remains engaged in community parenting support and balances professional life with personal interests, including time with her dog Coda and creative pursuits.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Brandy uses Internal Family Systems to help clients explore different internal parts and how they interact, guiding people toward greater self-leadership and internal harmony when dealing with issues like trauma or conflicted emotions. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to examine how early relational experiences shape current patterns, which can be useful for improving connection and communication. Client-Centered Therapy informs her overall stance, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental setting where clients’ goals drive the work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailor techniques from these frameworks to fit the situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexible scheduling and access from different locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting counseling into busy lives, and they support ongoing collaboration on goals and skill-building between sessions.
