About Terry
Terry Hasenzahl is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 25 years of clinical experience. She practices in Missouri and works with adults facing problems such as stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, self-esteem struggles, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, and anger.
Terry takes a practical, person-centered approach. Sessions focus on clear goals and usable skills. She combines straightforward conversation with evidence-based tools so people can manage strong feelings and solve pressing problems.
Her work often includes cognitive-behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotions run high, and mindfulness practices to help slow down reactivity.
Terry draws on motivational interviewing to help people find reasons to change and build on existing strengths. Narrative ideas are used to look at life stories and shift the meanings that keep people stuck. Practical psychoeducation is part of most sessions.
Over her career she has helped people dealing with trauma and abuse, chronic illness or pain, caregiving stress, midlife questions, substance problems, and work-related strain. She works collaboratively and keeps the work focused on what the person wants to change.
To begin, she asks people to identify concrete targets - for example, managing anger with a partner or reducing work-related outbursts - then practices skills and tracks progress session to session.
Approaches used online and what they do
Client-centered work puts the person's goals first and focuses on practical changes the person wants to make. It helps clarify what matters and keeps sessions focused on real-life problems and next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. It teaches simple experiments and actions to reduce reactivity and change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anger and anxiety.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes emotion regulation and interpersonal skills that people can practice between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to weigh goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is tracked.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoid travel time. Those practical benefits help people keep consistent appointments while they practice new ways of responding to anger.
