Terry Massey, LCSW, LISW-CP

Terry Massey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina and a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) in South Carolina with 26 years of clinical experience. He focuses on relationship and family concerns, parenting pressure, stress, anxiety, addiction, mood conditions, and related areas such as intimacy and grief. Terry works with adults to address practical problems at home and in relationships.

He trained in Applied Control Theory early in his career and completed a Master of Social Work at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Much of his work has involved behavioral health and early childhood settings, and he has held roles providing clinical supervision and directing behavioral health services. His background includes work in community agencies and program development across both Carolinas.

Terry uses a mix of approaches that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Existential ideas, and Imago Relationship Therapy. In sessions he breaks problems into manageable steps, helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck, and practices new ways of relating and coping. He aims to help clients build skills they can use outside the session.

When someone comes in for parenting strain, family conflict, or relationship stress, Terry seeks concrete changes and clearer communication. He also addresses anger, ADHD, trauma, addiction, and mood concerns by combining skill work, reflection, and relationship-focused exercises. He supports adults working through separation, blended family issues, and caregiving strain.
