Meet Twyla Terry-McCarrell
MA, LPC, CBP, EMDR-tr
Hello...
I’m Twyla, a Licensed Professional Counselor serving adults across Texas, Oklahoma, and Georgia through secure online therapy. I consider it an honor to walk alongside individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and (C)PTSD.
My approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I provide a safe, supportive space where you don’t have to face difficult experiences alone. Together, we work toward healing, emotional regulation, and a greater sense of well‑being—at a pace that feels right for you.
My Path to Becoming a Therapist
Although I was born and raised in Oklahoma, I’ve called Texas home for nearly 30 years. My professional journey began with a B.S. in Computer Science from Langston University and a long career in the corporate world. Over time, I felt a deeper calling to support others in their healing, which led me to earn my M.A. in Counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary and become a Licensed Professional Counselor.
Since then, I’ve provided counseling in private practice, clinics, internships, volunteer settings, and specialized environments including individual, couples, family, group, forensic, faith‑based, and personal‑injury counseling.
Specialized Training
I use evidence‑based, nervous‑system‑informed approaches to help clients process trauma safely and reconnect with themselves:
-
EMDR Trained (EMDR‑tr)
-
Certified Brainspotting Therapist
-
Training in Polyvagal Theory
-
Training in Internal Family Systems (IFS)
These modalities support deep healing for trauma, anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm.

My Philosophy
Healing requires courage. Reaching out for help takes time, energy, and vulnerability—and you don’t have to do it alone. My role is to offer compassion, guidance, and practical tools to help you move toward the life you want.

If you’re exploring the possibility of change, or ready to begin or continue your healing journey, you can schedule a complimentary 15‑minute consultation. I look forward to supporting you.
