About Ron
Ron Stroud is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 38 years of experience. He is licensed in Minnesota and South Carolina and works with adults on concerns such as LGBT issues, grief and loss, parenting stresses, self-esteem, and attention challenges.
He helps people who feel stuck after a life change or who are unsure what matters next. Sessions focus on practical conversation about what is getting in the way of day-to-day functioning. He also supports people working through motivation, concentration, memory concerns, and questions about life purpose.
Ron views each person as the expert on their own story and draws on clients' existing strengths. He uses straightforward talk to identify small, usable steps people can try between sessions. This often means focusing on what can be changed now rather than distant goals.
Across his years of practice he has worked with issues related to aging and geriatric concerns, blended family stresses, cancer-related adjustment, forgiveness, gender dysphoria, veteran and armed forces issues, multicultural challenges, prejudice and discrimination, and workplace problems. He brings that broad experience into practical problem-solving.
People who come wanting direction often work on specific, time-limited goals. Ron encourages clear, measurable steps and checks progress as sessions continue. He asks about what matters most and helps translate that into manageable action.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Ron uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach is short-term problem-focused work that breaks larger worries into concrete steps to try between sessions; this helps when motivation or concentration are concerns. Another approach emphasizes skills for attention and memory management, teaching simple routines and techniques to support daily functioning and follow-through.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, daily challenges, and preferences, and then suggest which technique or combination might fit best. Together they check progress and adjust the approach as needed rather than committing to a single method up front.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and remove travel time from the routine. For questions about which session format would suit a particular schedule or concern, ask when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule the first session.
