Odell's expertise extends to working with families and children, an area where his personal experience as a father of nine children provides a unique perspective. He brings this wealth of knowledge to his family therapy sessions, offering practical, empathetic guidance to parents and children alike. His approach is grounded in the belief that raising emotionally healthy children is not just a skill to be learned from books, but an intuitive process that benefits from real-life experience and understanding.
In his practice, Odell employs a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques. He believes in balancing cognitive interventions with empathy, validation, and motivational therapy, creating a therapeutic environment that is both emotionally supportive and practically effective. This integrative approach helps clients develop mindfulness, regulate emotions, and improve relationships with others.
Odell Terrell's commitment to mental health extends beyond individual therapy sessions. In 2020, he established his own practice in downtown Greensboro, creating a space where clients can explore their inner worlds and work towards meaningful change. His diverse interests, including boxing, Jiu-Jitsu, and falconry, reflect his belief that life is meant to be lived fully – a philosophy he brings into his therapeutic work, encouraging clients to embrace life's richness even as they navigate its challenges.
