About Teri

Teri Struthers is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of experience. She brings a background in nursing, military life, and college teaching to her counseling work. Her practice centers on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, depression, and major life transitions.

She combines a relationship-focused stance with practical Cognitive Behavioral Therapy strategies. Sessions emphasize understanding personal strengths and patterns. Clients are invited to notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and to try small changes that make daily life easier.

Teri also weaves spiritual beliefs into care when that matters to a client. She respects each person's values and works with clients to define goals that fit their life and faith. Couples are encouraged to look at their shared patterns, communication, and mutual needs as they make changes together.

Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. She helps people build awareness, take responsibility for choices, and pursue wellbeing across work, family, and faith. Practical tools and short-term strategies are used alongside deeper relationship work.

People who come for anger concerns often learn ways to recognize triggers and manage reactions. Others seek help for parenting strain, caregiver stress, career pressures, grief, or ADHD-related challenges. Teri aims to help each person move toward more effective coping and healthier connections.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and empathy, helping people feel heard and understood while they figure out their own next steps. It helps when someone needs space to reflect on values, relationships, and personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, anger, low mood, and managing stress with concrete tools.

Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on goals and immediate steps forward, helping people identify what works and build on it quickly. It is often helpful for people who want brief, goal-oriented work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they adjust methods and try practical skills until an approach fits the client’s needs.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people keep therapy consistent through job changes, relocation, or hectic schedules while focusing on the same practical skills and relationship work used in traditional sessions.
