About Teri
Teri Struthers is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with more than 25 years of experience. She began her professional path with nursing and military experience, then moved into counseling and college teaching. Her work centers on helping people manage anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and major life transitions.
Her style emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and practical strategies. She blends a client-centered stance with cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused ideas. Sessions often look at how personal patterns and relationships influence daily life and mood.
Teri uses simple, step-by-step tools alongside reflective conversation. She helps people notice strengths, practice new skills, and respond differently to stress. The aim is steady progress, not quick fixes.
Spiritual beliefs inform her perspective, and she respects each person’s values and goals. She encourages clients to explore personal meaning and how faith may fit into their growth when relevant.
Over her career she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including grief, trauma and abuse, parenting stresses, work problems, and issues around intimacy and communication. Her approach is practical and warm, aimed at helping people find workable changes.
People who reach out can expect a focus on building insight, improving coping skills, and strengthening relationships. The work moves at a pace that fits each person’s needs and priorities.
How her approaches translate to online work
Teri uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening-focused relationship where the client's priorities guide the work. This approach helps when someone needs emotional support and a space to understand their feelings.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. CBT is useful for stress, mood, and patterns that cause repeated problems.
Solution-Focused Therapy is part of her toolkit and concentrates on small, practical steps toward preferred changes rather than long reviews of the past. This can help people make quick adjustments to improve daily functioning.
Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Teri will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining approaches and checking in regularly about progress.
Confirming which session formats are currently offered is recommended before booking, as session options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around life - for example fitting a brief check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It also allows continued contact after life changes when keeping regular in-person visits would be harder.
