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 holds the CA LPCC and FL LMHC credentials noted above. Frankie works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, addictions, parenting challenges, ADHD, and other concerns including blended family issues.
Frankie developed much of her early clinical practice in an inpatient crisis stabilization setting. She completed her graduate internship and post-graduate registered intern experience at that center. She has supported people who experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse and has collaborated with the Department of Children and Families, the Baker Act court system, and several intensive outpatient programs.
Her work draws on attachment-focused ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools, emotionally focused techniques, and mindfulness practices. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps such as identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, clarifying relationship roles, and practicing grounding or breathing skills. Frankie pays attention to how past attachments can show up in current relationships and parenting stress.
People who come to her can expect straightforward conversation about goals and options. Treatment planning is collaborative and adjusts as needs change. She emphasizes direct communication, calmer responses to triggers, and realistic steps for household transitions in blended family situations.
Frankie offers a mix of contact styles to fit different rhythms of life. Before booking, people should confirm which session formats are currently offered where they live. To begin, users typically complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How Frankie's Therapeutic Methods Translate Online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect present behavior. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in loyalty, closeness, and separation that show up in stepfamily life, and then practice different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts that drive stress and testing new behaviors. That approach helps with anxiety, mood shifts, and specific routines that need changing in blended households. Mindfulness practices teach simple breathing and awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and ground attention during heated moments.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review problems, goals, and day-to-day constraints and then try methods that fit. Plans are adjusted over time based on what works in real life, and the therapist aims to make techniques usable between sessions for managing household transitions and parenting stress.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking since options may vary by location. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so a session can happen during a lunch break or after work. Licensed professionals can use video, phone, or messaging in different ways, and Frankie will discuss which format best supports the goals and practical needs of the person seeking help.
