Terri GrumieauxLCSW

Terri Grumieaux is a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana with 26 years of experience. She centers her work on practical steps people can use to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. She encourages clients to recognize their strengths and to take things one step at a time. Terri speaks directly and respectfully, acknowledging that starting therapy often takes courage.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens for each person's goals and helps build skills for everyday life. Sessions often focus on reducing overwhelming feelings, improving confidence, and finding ways to cope after losses or major life changes.

Terri uses a mix of approaches that include cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance-based methods. That lets her help with negative thinking patterns and with making choices that match a person's values. She also draws on client-centered listening to make space for whatever someone brings to the session.

Alongside mood and anxiety concerns, she supports people facing compassion fatigue, addictions, trauma and abuse, and postpartum depression. Terri also addresses communication issues, forgiveness, infidelity, panic attacks, and seasonal mood changes.

Her practical aim is to leave people with tools they can use between sessions. She helps create steps that fit into daily life and adjusts strategies as progress is made. If you want a steady, experienced clinician who focuses on real-world coping, Terri offers that steady presence.

How Terri’s approaches translate to online care

Terri draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape practical online sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small committed steps toward those values, which helps when stress, grief, or life transitions make choices harder. CBT targets unhelpful thinking and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms through structured practice.

Finding the right approach is a process she shares with each person. She works collaboratively to match methods to your goals and preferences, and adjusts plans as you try different strategies together. The emphasis is on clear goals, measurable steps, and checking in about what helps.

Confirm session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and support shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed. It can also allow you to use written or video-based tools from CBT and ACT between meetings to reinforce skills in everyday situations.
