About Teri

Teri Struthers is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of clinical experience based in Minnesota. She blends a relationship-focused stance with practical, skills-based techniques to help people move through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, and major life changes.

Background and approach

Her background also includes nursing, military life, and college-level teaching, which inform a broad, pragmatic perspective on coping and recovery. Her style emphasizes collaborative work that develops self-awareness, personal strengths, and responsibility for change.

Teri draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with client-centered and solution-focused ideas to help clients identify patterns, learn new responses, and set concrete goals. She also addresses intimacy and caregiving concerns, blended family dynamics, workplace problems, and a range of relational issues such as communication, infidelity, and family of origin themes.

Clients can expect an approach that integrates practical strategies with attention to individual and relational awareness, supporting growth across life domains including career, parenting, and purpose. Teri works with adults on a variety of concerns and tailors each plan to align with a person’s values and objectives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Clients can expect work grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the therapist’s supportive presence to help people explore values, build self-awareness, and grow from their own insights.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and specific concerns with each person and tailor a plan that may combine these approaches to best fit what the client hopes to accomplish. Together they will evaluate progress and adjust methods as needed.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to deliver active, skills-based interventions from a distance.
