About Johnnie
Dr. Johnnie (John) Terrell is a psychologist practicing in Indiana with 45 years of experience. He brings a long career in clinical settings and independent practice to the work he does with people facing difficult life moments.
He describes his core approach as one of grace and acceptance. He aims to listen patiently and respond without judgment. That emphasis guides how he meets people who feel stressed, anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed by life changes.
Background and approach
Terrell uses a mix of practical methods rather than a single technique. He often draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas to help people improve trust and connection in relationships.
Over decades he has worked with people coping with grief, trauma, addiction, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and parenting challenges. He also offers support for concerns such as hoarding, forgiveness, end-of-life issues, infidelity, and life purpose. He frames care around each person’s unique needs and values.
His style is interpersonal and compassionate. He combines professional methods with a down-to-earth attitude shaped by his own life experience. The goal is to help people find hope and clearer ways forward, even when they feel at wits’ end.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape trust and closeness. It helps when problems show up in how people connect, communicate, or worry about relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical steps to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. Emotionally-focused ideas help people name and work with strong emotions and improve emotional connection in close relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and what feels comfortable. Together they decide which ideas and exercises to try and adjust the plan as progress and needs emerge.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to keep work consistent. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when a deeper dialogue is needed. Phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or when video bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, reflection between sessions, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to schedule regular care around busy family and work demands.
