About Teri
Teri Struthers is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life changes and questions about life purpose. Her background also includes nursing, military life and college-level teaching.
She uses a relationship-focused style that centers the client's perspective. Sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered ideas to look at thought patterns and underlying values. Solution-Focused techniques help identify small, practical steps to try between meetings.
Teri often invites clients to clarify strengths and responses that have shaped their current situation. Conversations may include how work, family roles and faith influence choices and priorities. She encourages taking responsibility for change while recognizing realistic limits.
When couples come in, sessions look at interaction patterns and shared goals. The focus is on understanding each partner's needs and responses, and on concrete changes that can improve communication and connection.
Her work with life transitions and midlife concerns emphasizes clear, practical decisions. That can mean sorting career questions, parenting strain, blended family issues or grieving losses. Teri also supports people dealing with trauma, caregiver stress, workplace problems and social anxiety.
Clients can expect direct conversation, a focus on what can be changed, and steps to practice new skills between sessions. The therapist attends to spiritual beliefs when that matters to the client, while adapting the approach to each person's values and goals.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective. The therapist aims to reflect thoughts and feelings so clients can clarify what matters and notice their own strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression and stressful patterns at work or home by teaching practical strategies to test and change unhelpful thoughts. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable steps and goals. It is helpful when someone wants clear actions to try between meetings and quick ways to measure progress. Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then recommend which methods to emphasize. That decision can change over time as needs and priorities evolve. Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking, because formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins, or avoid travel time. They can also allow sessions when bandwidth is limited or when a phone call is a better fit than video. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework so therapeutic work continues between meetings.Areas of expertise
