About Frankie

Frankie Ter Keurst is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with six years of clinical experience. She is based in Florida and works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, addiction, ADHD, and trauma and abuse.

Frankie completed graduate internship and post-graduate registered intern work at an inpatient crisis stabilization center. She has experience supporting people who have struggled with self-harm, personality disorders, and complex trauma. Her background includes collaboration with the Department of Children and Families, involvement with Baker Act proceedings, and work alongside intensive outpatient programs.

Her approach brings together Emotionally-Focused Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. Sessions focus on identifying strong emotions, improving communication, and building more secure ways of relating. Practical skills and emotion-focused reflection are used side by side depending on what a person needs that week.

Frankie aims to listen without judgment and to treat people with respect. She avoids labeling and looks at behaviors and patterns that contribute to current struggles. Conversations are shaped with client input so goals and plans reflect real life demands and priorities.

She offers sessions using video, phone calls, and text messaging as part of how she works. Prospective clients should follow the listed process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

Using EFT, attachment work and CBT in online sessions

Frankie integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy, attachment-based ideas, and cognitive behavioral techniques in remote sessions. EFT focuses on naming and working with strong emotions to shift repeating patterns and improve how people connect and respond. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and behavior, which can help when trust or closeness is difficult. Cognitive behavioral techniques identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with practical experiments or new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Frankie will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, and then try methods that match the client’s needs. That process is collaborative and may include checking in and adjusting methods over time.

The profile notes video, phone call, and text message sessions as ways she works. If you want to know the exact session options or the technical details, confirm those before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins by phone when needed, and let people use phone-only options if they prefer not to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote formats so sessions stay practical and focused on day-to-day improvements.
