About Teri
Teri Struthers is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, parenting strain, anger, and life transitions. Her background includes nursing, military life, and college teaching, which shapes her practical approach to counseling.
She uses a relationship-focused style that draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques. That means sessions look at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and how changing patterns can ease everyday struggles. Conversations also explore personal strengths and how those strengths can be used to face problems and build better habits.
Teri includes the client’s faith when that matters to them. She talks with people about how their beliefs connect to their goals and choices, while also respecting different values. For couples, she addresses relationship dynamics and shared goals alongside individual awareness.
Her work often centers on clear steps and concrete strategies. Clients learn practical tools to manage stress, handle workplace tensions, reduce anxiety, and respond differently when anger or resentment arises. She encourages responsibility and regular practice between sessions.
People who choose her can expect straightforward conversation and a focus on what can change now. The emphasis is on learning skills, understanding reactions, and building stronger patterns in daily life.
How her approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and strengths. It involves listening, reflecting, and helping someone clarify goals and values so they can make meaningful choices. This approach supports work on relationship issues, self-esteem, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions influence feelings. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, anger, and workplace stress.
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable steps toward clear goals. Sessions identify what has worked before and build on those moments to create change. This method is useful when someone wants focused, goal-oriented sessions for specific problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust methods in a collaborative way. Clients are invited to try strategies and give feedback so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help clients use therapy alongside work, family, and daily routines.
