    About Terrayce

    Dr. Terrayce Hunter is a clinical psychologist licensed in California since 2001. She brings 26 years of experience helping people navigate addictions, life stage changes, and family dynamics. Her work includes supporting children, teens, and adults, and she pays particular attention to aging and geriatric concerns.

    She uses psychological testing to learn how a person thinks and responds, and she uses that information to shape treatment. That testing helps clarify personality patterns and guides practical next steps. Sessions focus on finding strengths that can be built into everyday routines.

    Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach, which means she asks questions that help people find their own reasons to change. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used when learning new skills and changing unhelpful habits.

    Her style is conversational and goal-focused. She helps people notice small, practical steps that fit into real life. That can mean skill-building for stress, managing mood and anxiety, or addressing addiction and grief.

    People who come to her often want clear information from testing and a therapist who asks curious, direct questions. She partners with clients to identify goals and build skills for coping, decision making, and daily functioning.

  2. How these approaches work in online therapy

    Dr. Hunter uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change by asking focused, open questions and reflecting what she hears. This approach can be helpful for addictions, motivation around life changes, and shifting habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections; it helps people understand emotional needs and improve how they relate to others.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best given their goals, concerns, and everyday constraints. That means trying different techniques and adjusting based on what helps the person make progress.

    Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins around work or caregiving, or to choose a format that requires less bandwidth if video is difficult. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to learn how sessions can be arranged to match your routine and needs.
