About Teri
Teri Struthers is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and major life changes. Her practice also includes work on family issues, parenting concerns, grief, and stress related to caregiving and the workplace.
Before counseling, she spent time in nursing, military life, and teaching at the college level. Those roles shape a practical approach to talking through problems and building new day-to-day habits. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, responses, and strengths that affect current life and relationships.
Her style is relationship focused while using Cognitive Behavioral strategies and client-centered principles. That means conversations emphasize how thoughts and actions connect, and the counselor pays attention to each person’s experience. Solution-Focused techniques are used to set clear goals and notice small steps that lead to change.
People who want to address family of origin issues, blended family dynamics, communication problems, or separation and divorce often work on specific skills and clearer boundaries. She also assists with intimacy-related issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and midlife transitions.
Sessions include attention to spiritual beliefs when that matters to the client, while still centering on practical ways to manage symptoms and improve relationships. The overall aim is to help people gain more awareness, take responsibility for choices, and move toward healthier routines and relationships.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding each person’s perspective. It focuses on the client’s experience and helps people clarify values and choices, useful for relationship and family concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It provides practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, and stress by changing unhelpful thinking and practicing different responses.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on specific goals and small, measurable steps. It helps people notice what already works and build on those strengths to handle life transitions and communication problems.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and practical needs, and then suggest methods to try. That choice can change over time as progress is made.
