Terra Ogle, LCSW

Terra Ogle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 21 years of experience in behavioral health. She completed both her undergraduate degree and a Master of Social Work at the University of Illinois, and over two decades of practice she has focused on issues such as suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, and trauma history. Her work emphasizes practical strategies alongside deeper exploration of underlying patterns that influence mood and behavior.

As a social worker, she holds the view that meaningful change often involves shifts both within an individual and in their environment. She emphasizes building on existing strengths and cultivating new skills, frequently using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - an approach that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect - to help clients respond differently to stressors. She aims to help individuals trace the roots of their anxiety so that both body and mind can find greater calm.

Trauma work is a central area of interest, informed by an understanding of how traumatic experiences can shape brain function, moods, and behaviors. Her style is warm and supportive; she often describes her role as a tour guide through the issues clients bring to therapy. Therapy is presented as the client’s process, with clients expected to do most of the talking while she offers reflective observations, gentle nudges, and a dash of humor to facilitate progress.
