About Teri
Teri Struthers is a Minnesota Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of practice. She brings a background that includes nursing, military life, and college-level teaching to her counseling work. Her approach combines a strong therapeutic relationship with practical strategies to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns.
She uses straightforward, goal-focused methods. Sessions often include Cognitive Behavioral techniques and a client-centered stance that values each person’s experience.
Background and approach
Teri also draws on solution-focused tools to identify small changes that can make daily life feel more manageable. Teri emphasizes self-understanding and responsibility. She helps people notice strengths, patterns, and responses to life’s challenges.
Many clients work on relationship issues, communication problems, blended family concerns, or coping with grief and loss. Faith matters to Teri and informs how she approaches meaning, forgiveness, and life purpose. She respects each person’s values and works with those values when they are part of the goals people bring to sessions.
Discussions may include how faith and relationships intersect with emotional health. Practical concerns like workplace stress, caregiver strain, seasonal mood shifts, and parenting pressures are common topics. Teri helps people set realistic steps, practice new behaviors, and try different ways of responding.
The focus is on clear, doable changes that fit daily life.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a strong working relationship. The therapist follows each person’s pace, reflects concerns back, and helps people feel heard while they decide what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety, shift negative thinking, and change unhelpful patterns that contribute to depression or stress.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for immediate, achievable steps. Sessions often identify small changes that can be tried between meetings to create momentum and track quick wins for issues like communication or parenting challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. This collaborative process helps tailor the plan to each person’s needs and preferences.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility in timing, pace, and how much you want to be on camera.
