About Teri
Teri Struthers is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, trauma and many life transitions. Her background includes nursing, military life, and teaching at the college level.
Her approach is relationship focused and draws on Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused methods. She encourages people to look at their strengths and how they respond to hard situations. She also addresses the role of faith for those who want to include it in counseling.
In sessions she helps people increase awareness of patterns in their thinking and behavior. She uses practical CBT strategies to challenge unhelpful thoughts and Solution-Focused steps to set concrete, short-term goals. The work often includes exploring communication, boundaries, and decision points in relationships.
Teri also brings experience with caregiving stress, blended family issues, parenting concerns, workplace struggles, and intimacy-related problems. She mentions forgiveness and guilt and shame among topics she addresses when they come up in conversation.
Her style invites clients to take responsibility for change and to develop clearer priorities across life areas. For people who value faith as part of their life, she discusses spiritual questions alongside practical coping and relationship work.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and helping people clarify their own goals. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what she hears, and helps the person name priorities or values that matter to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions typically include identifying unhelpful thought patterns, trying practical experiments between sessions, and learning coping strategies for anxiety, depression, or guilt and shame.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps toward concrete goals. Sessions often identify what is already working, set brief objectives, and track progress through simple, focused tasks.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals and circumstances shift.
Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how appointments will be held. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, or let someone choose not to be on camera for a session. These practical benefits help make therapy more workable with everyday life.
