About Terri
Terri Pule, LCSW, focuses on helping people who are facing hard life moments. She supports those dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and changes in work or relationships. Terri works in Hawaii and speaks English.
She brings five years of clinical experience to sessions and aims to make the first step feel manageable for busy parents. Terri uses a straightforward, respectful style in sessions. She listens first, then helps clients set practical goals.
Background and approach
Expect conversations that are rooted in what matters to you and that point toward concrete next steps. Terri emphasizes strengths and small, doable changes rather than sweeping fixes. Her methods include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused conversation.
That mix allows her to tailor sessions to day-to-day struggles like low self-esteem, parenting stress, grief, and life transitions. She offers tools for coping and for shifting thought patterns that get in the way. Terri also addresses issues such as caregiver stress, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions can fold in coaching elements when clients want practical planning around career, money, or parenting responsibilities. She aims to help people notice what’s working and build on it. Scheduling is flexible with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging available.
Terri is willing to work on weekends and offers messaging during the week to support ongoing issues between meetings. The focus is on clear steps, steady progress, and listening to each person’s priorities.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Terri blends client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to address practical problems. Client-centered work means she follows the client's priorities, listens closely, and helps people name their goals. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, low mood, and stress.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help clients notice reactions and calm racing thoughts, and on solution-focused conversation to outline small, achievable steps. Mindfulness can help with stress, parenting overwhelm, and grief. Solution-focused tools work well when someone wants quick, targeted changes in daily routines.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Terri will talk with clients about what feels useful and adapt methods as goals change. She helps people decide whether to emphasize skills practice, reflective conversation, or short-term problem solving based on needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Messaging and live chat are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or getting support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parent’s schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
