About Terence

Terence Carroll is a licensed clinical social worker who centers therapy on meaning and personal choice. He draws on existential ideas to help people face difficult feelings and life decisions. He brings nearly five decades of clinical experience and a calm, steady presence to sessions.

He believes each person knows their own story and has strengths to build on. In conversation he listens closely and helps people name what matters to them.

Background and approach

That approach supports work on stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma or abuse. Terence also focuses on relationship difficulties and the strains that major life changes bring. He helps clients who are coping with illness, caregiving demands, or end-of-life concerns.

He also addresses issues like attachment, communication problems, isolation, and guilt or shame. His work includes attention to specific life contexts such as aging and geriatric issues, immigration-related concerns, and the needs of first responders. He has experience with topics that some find sensitive, including BDSM and alternative sex culture, HIV/AIDS, and cancer-related distress.

Terence uses client-centered and psychodynamic ideas alongside existential and attachment-based perspectives. Sessions are aimed at clarifying values, improving relationships, and strengthening day-to-day coping. He offers straightforward support as people take steps toward change.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches online that meet life’s questions

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and how people face loss or uncertainty. Online sessions can help when someone is rethinking priorities, coping with grief, or feeling stuck by life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships affect connection and trust. This work can help improve communication, reduce loneliness, and address patterns that cause repeated conflict. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and honoring the client's pace and perspective. It supports people who need a steady, respectful space to talk through anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas and methods fit their goals and comfort level. That means trying different ways of working and adjusting as needs change so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat provides a brief written check-in, and ongoing messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules and to maintain continuity when life shifts.
