About Frankie

Frankie Ter Keurst is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing from Florida. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, addiction, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and other life changes. Frankie aims to listen with warmth and respect so clients feel heard from the start.

Frankie completed graduate internship and post-graduate registered intern work at an inpatient crisis stabilization center. That work included supporting people after physical trauma and emotional abuse and coordinating with the Department of Children and Families and court systems. She has also worked alongside intensive outpatient programs and supported people with self-harm and personality disorder concerns.

Her style is compassionate and straightforward. Sessions are shaped to fit each person's needs and priorities. Frankie emphasizes practical conversation and plans rather than labels or stigma.

She draws on several approaches to guide work in session, including cognitive-behavioral ideas, attachment-based thinking, emotionally-focused methods, client-centered listening, and mindfulness practices. These tools are used to help with mood, anxious thoughts, relationship patterns, parenting stress, and coping with major life changes.

Frankie has six years of clinical experience and holds the CA LPCC and FL LMHC credentials. She works in English and asks people to select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Frankie uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and how early connections shape current interactions. Emotionally-focused elements guide sessions when the focus is on deepening emotional awareness and improving how people express needs and respond to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Frankie works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences. She talks with each person about what feels useful and adjusts the plan over time so the work stays relevant.

Frankie has offered video, phone call, and text message sessions in her practice. If you want to know which session formats are currently available, confirm options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments are simpler to attend.
