Teri Struthers, LPCC - Therapist in Minnesota

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. Teri focuses on practical steps people can take when life feels overwhelming.

She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy understandable for worried parents and busy adults. Her approach centers on strong therapeutic relationships and clear skills practice. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to help people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors and try different ways of responding.

Background and approach

She also draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and track small changes that matter. Teri helps clients facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship strain, intimacy issues, parenting concerns, and life transitions.

She also works with conditions like ADHD and workplace or career problems, plus blended family and caregiver stress. Her style is direct but supportive, focusing on what clients can do now to feel steadier. Sessions emphasize building awareness of strengths, learning practical tools, and taking concrete steps toward better routines and communication.

Faith is an available part of conversation if a client wants it, and she respects each person’s values. The work aims to help people gain insight and practice changes that fit everyday life. Based in Minnesota, Teri offers online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

She encourages people to start with a short questionnaire to find the right match and then schedule sessions that align with their timing and goals.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person’s lead. The therapist creates a respectful space where clients set goals and decide what matters most in their life. This approach helps when someone needs time to understand their feelings and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - teaches practical tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and daily routines by breaking problems into manageable steps and tracking progress.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable goals and the changes that show up quickly. It’s useful when someone wants concrete steps and fast feedback on what is working in their life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions offer a simpler connection, and live chat or text messaging give ongoing support between sessions. These options provide more flexibility and help people get consistent care from licensed professionals when in-person visits aren’t practical.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
