About Teri
Teri Struthers is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting stress, grief, trauma and life transitions. Her practice description highlights both individual and couple work and attention to spiritual beliefs when clients want that included.
Struthers draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques alongside a client-centered stance and solution-focused methods. She emphasizes noticing patterns of thought and behavior, taking responsibility for changes, and building practical skills to respond differently to stressors. Sessions typically include straightforward goals and exercises to practice between meetings.
Her background also includes nursing, military life, and teaching at the college level. That experience shapes a practical, organized approach to problem solving. She encourages clients to build self-awareness and to identify strengths they can use in daily life.
When working with couples, she focuses on relational dynamics, communication patterns, and shared problem solving. She also integrates conversations about faith when clients express that as important to their goals. The work aims to increase clarity about needs and to improve how partners respond to each other.
People who prefer structured, skills-based therapy and clear steps for change may find her style useful. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking so they know how meetings are arranged.
How CBT, client-centered and solution-focused work for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s perspective and priorities. It involves listening closely, reflecting what is said, and helping clients clarify values and choices. This approach helps when people need space to sort out feelings and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to notice unhelpful thinking and test different responses. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on goals and what is already working. Sessions move quickly to identify small, actionable changes and build on client strengths. It can help when someone wants concrete steps and measurable progress.
Figuring out the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will discuss the client’s needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend whether CBT, client-centered techniques, or solution-focused work is the best starting point. That plan can change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow quicker check-ins during a work break or between obligations. They can also let clients use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when preferred, depending on the format offered.
