Teri Struthers, LPCC

Teri Struthers is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She brings a background in nursing, military life, and college-level teaching into her counseling practice. Her work centers on helping people face stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and major life changes.

Teri uses a relationship-focused style that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques. She helps individuals notice patterns, name their strengths, and try practical steps that can ease daily stress. Sessions also consider spiritual beliefs when clients want to include that perspective.

When meeting with someone, she aims to build understanding of how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. That understanding is used to test small changes that feel doable. The approach is straightforward and geared toward real-life problems like work strain, parenting challenges, and caregiver stress.

For people dealing with relationship issues, she looks at how partners interact and helps them learn better ways to communicate and solve problems together. She also addresses blended family concerns, divorce and separation effects, and family of origin issues in practical terms.

Teri supports people coping with trauma, grief, anger, ADHD, and midlife transitions by combining relational insight with behavior-focused tools. The goal is clearer choices and steadier coping in everyday life. Referrals and next steps are discussed when goals point to additional resources.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Teri uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening space where people can speak about what matters most. This approach focuses on understanding each person's experience and building on their strengths.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, and daily coping by testing small behavior changes and new ways of thinking.

Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set short-term, practical goals. It helps when someone wants quick steps to handle specific problems like workplace stress or communication issues.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they try methods that match the person's needs and adjust as progress is made.

Please confirm session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep therapy consistent during life transitions and caregiver responsibilities.
