About Terrayce

Dr. Terrayce Hunter is a California psychologist with 26 years of clinical experience. She has worked extensively with addictions, family dynamics, life-stage changes, and concerns that come with aging. She also addresses stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, anger, and self-esteem issues.

Hunter has experience with psychological testing and uses test information to clarify personality patterns and treatment planning. She has worked with children, teenagers, and adults, and has a noted interest in geriatric issues and hospice or end-of-life concerns. Family of origin issues and attachment topics are part of her focus when they affect current behavior and relationships.

Her clinical style centers on motivational interviewing and skill building. Sessions include talking through current problems, identifying strengths, and practicing concrete skills to manage emotions and behavior. When testing is helpful, she explains what the results mean and how they can guide next steps.

She blends cognitive behavioral ideas with client-centered and attachment-informed perspectives. That means looking at what people do day to day, how early relationships shaped expectations, and what practical changes could feel manageable now.

People who come for counseling often want clear tools and straightforward feedback. Hunter aims to help clients name patterns that come from family history and rehearse new ways of responding. Her work with addictions, grief, and caregiving stress often combines direct problem-solving with conversations about values and life purpose.

Approaches that guide online work

Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationships shape expectations in adult connections. It helps when patterns from the family of origin affect trust, closeness, or conflict. Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities, encouraging discussion of what feels important and what to try next. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks down difficult problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, then practices small changes to shift reactions and reduce symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to test methods, notice what helps, and adjust plans based on goals and preferences. That way sessions stay practical and responsive rather than fixed to a single method.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekly routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use video or audio depending on comfort and bandwidth. Ask which formats are currently offered when you schedule to match the practical needs of your life.
