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 practices from Florida and lists work with concerns such as stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationships, grief, parenting, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, life changes, and ADHD.
Frankie completed graduate internship and post-graduate registered intern work at an inpatient crisis stabilization center. There she supported people managing crisis, those with self-harm behaviors, and clients navigating intense emotional dysregulation. That early work included collaboration with child welfare systems and court-related processes related to involuntary detention statutes and multiple intensive outpatient programs.
Her approach draws on several therapy styles. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to look at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also applies attachment-based ideas to understand relationship dynamics and emotionally-focused methods to address relational concerns.
Conversations in sessions are guided by the person's goals and reality. Frankie listens for what matters most at home and what is getting in the way of daily life. She works with practical coping skills and communication strategies people can try between sessions.
Parents and adults who are frustrated by recurring family conflict often find this practical focus useful. Sessions can address parenting stress, blended family challenges, caregiver strain, and problems that come from trauma, abandonment, or attachment wounds. Frankie combines direct problem-solving with attention to emotions so people can manage symptoms and improve everyday interactions.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online work fits daily life
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how early connections shape reactions today and can help with abandonment, attachment issues, and recurring family conflict. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and small experiments to change what doesn't work. Emotionally-focused approaches pay attention to felt emotions in relationships and help people communicate needs more clearly and repair ruptures.Picking the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, past attempts, and what feels most useful, and then adjust methods together as work progresses. That collaborative plan helps match strategies to what a person actually faces at home.
The original profile named video, phone call, and text message sessions, so confirm which formats are currently offered before scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and avoid travel time. It also enables follow-up between sessions with brief messages when that format is available. Ask about session length and format options during the first scheduling steps so sessions can be arranged to suit your routine.
