About Terra Ogle
Terra Ogle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 21 years of experience in behavioral health. She earned both her undergraduate degree and her Master of Social Work from the University of Illinois and has spent her career supporting people through depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, trauma histories, and related challenges. Her clinical work blends a strengths-based outlook with practical skills training, helping clients recognize how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaching concrete tools to manage responses.
Terra's manner is warm, supportive, and intentionally collaborative. She often frames the therapeutic relationship as a guided exploration - helping clients navigate the issues they want to address while centering the client's priorities. Grounded in cognitive behavioral techniques, she also draws on client-centered principles and other evidence-informed methods to reach the roots of anxiety and to calm both mind and body. Her growing focus on trauma reflects an interest in how past experiences shape moods, behavior, and brain function, and she brings that knowledge to work toward meaningful change.
Terra emphasizes building on existing strengths and developing new ones, and she encourages clients to take an active role in their progress. Her style is reflective with gentle encouragement and occasional lightness, aimed at creating a supportive environment for the difficult work of healing.

Approaches and Online Support for Healing
Terra integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to offer practical and compassionate online care. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the client from their own perspective, creating a collaborative relationship that prioritizes the individual's goals and strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and provides concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.She also incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when appropriate, offering skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication. Together these approaches allow Terra to tailor work to trauma, relationship issues, parenting challenges, and other concerns she commonly treats.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Terra works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time. Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes that collaboration more flexible, allowing clients to access care from home or work and to choose formats that match their comfort and schedule.
