New to Grow
Brandy Terrill is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky who takes a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach to therapy, partnering with clients to work toward their personal goals. She has experience supporting individuals navigating substance misuse, women’s health concerns, and life transitions. Brandy incorporates elements of mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and cognitive therapy into her work. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, resilience, and creating a supportive space for meaningful change.
The first session is about getting oriented, building comfort & rapport, and starting to understand what brings you in. It’s less about “fixing things” right away and more about laying a foundation and establishing goals for therapy.
My greatest strengths as a therapist are my ability to create a safe, nonjudgmental space while helping clients move toward meaningful change. I take a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach and integrate evidence-based methods like Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and cognitive therapies. My goal is to make clients feel genuinely heard and supported, while also being challenged to grow.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a practical, collaborative approach to help clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are all connected. In my experience, many people come into therapy feeling stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, and CBT gives us a clear framework to start making sense of those patterns. CBT can help clients identify unhelpful or automatic thoughts that influence how they feel and act. Those thoughts are examined and we work on developing more balanced and realistic ways of thinking.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) as a goal-oriented approach to help clients create meaningful change in a relatively short amount of time. I focus on what clients want to be different, while helping them identify their strengths, past successes, and moments when challenges are less intense. I use tools like scaling and solution-focused questions to support small, realistic steps forward.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients build a healthier relationship with their thoughts and emotions, rather than trying to avoid or control them. Mindfulness, acceptance, and values-based work are incorporated to support clients in taking meaningful action, even in the presence of discomfort. My goal is to help clients develop psychological flexibility and move toward a life that feels more aligned and purposeful.
