About Terry
Terry Jensen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey with 30 years of practice. She works with adults across a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, parenting questions, and trauma-related issues.
Her approach blends behavioral methods with psychodynamic ideas. She looks at how past experiences affect current patterns and what that means for everyday life now. Sessions often focus on changing unhelpful behaviors while understanding the stories behind them.
Terry draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and client-centered work. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to uncover repeating themes that show up in relationships and self-image. Gestalt influence appears in her emphasis on the present moment alongside past events.
Her background includes work in foster care, healthcare settings, and with children who have disabilities. That experience has informed how she supports people dealing with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, end-of-life issues, and the ongoing strains of family-of-origin conflict.
In practical terms she helps people address problems like abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, infidelity, sexual assault and abuse, anger, and compassion fatigue. She works with individuals and couples and supports people navigating life changes, communication problems, and the emotional fallout from serious illness.
BHow sessions work
Approach-driven online sessions with an LCSW
Terry often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical tools for managing symptoms and changing unhelpful patterns. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and working at the client’s pace to build clearer goals and stronger self-understanding.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods over time. That collaborative process helps match techniques to the issues people bring, whether that is grief, relationship strain, trauma, or caregiver stress.
Session format details were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and remove travel time that would otherwise interrupt a workday. Many people find these practical aspects help them keep therapy consistent while addressing everyday stresses and longer-term concerns.
