About Ida
Ida Terry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience who focuses on helping people manage anger, process loss, and confront addiction. She offers a calm, direct presence that helps people name what feels overwhelming and take practical steps forward.
Ida aims to create a respectful space where people can speak honestly and begin to change patterns that cause pain. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person's pace and priorities.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses in day-to-day life. Narrative ideas help people reframe their stories so they feel less stuck by past events. Ida has worked with a wide range of concerns including grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, bipolar disorder, and anger.
She also addresses addictions and process addictions such as gambling or problematic sexual behaviors. Additional focus areas include blended family issues, codependency, control struggles, and veteran and first responder concerns. She practices in Oregon and holds LPC credentials in Arizona and Oregon.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Ida uses a blend of motivational interviewing and existential questions when people want help clarifying life purpose or working through shame and guilt. Her approach is collaborative and practical.
People can expect straightforward conversation, goal-oriented steps between sessions, and a focus on changes that fit everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps reflect feelings, and supports self-guided change; this approach is useful for building trust and exploring anger or grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to test new ways of responding; it works well for anger management, depression, and addictive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ida will work together with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan so it fits day-to-day life and personal values.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people work face to face from any location while phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier for quick check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging can help maintain momentum between longer sessions or suit people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility for busy schedules and varied communication styles.
