Teri Struthers , LPCC

Teri Struthers is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota with 25 years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, parenting concerns and major life transitions. Her clinical background also includes nursing, military life and teaching college-level courses, experiences that inform a practical, grounded approach to care.

She blends a relationship-focused style with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques and a holistic perspective that attends to individual and relational awareness, personal responsibility and overall well-being. Teri invites clients to explore strengths, patterns of response and deeper understanding of how faith and relationships influence daily life. Work with individuals centers on building self-awareness, coping strategies and a fuller sense of purpose and connection.

In couples work she addresses relationship dynamics, communication and intimacy while integrating faith-based values when desired, encouraging partners to develop shared insight and a collaborative approach to challenges. While her Christian faith underpins her services, she remains respectful of each person’s values and priorities and adapts goals to fit the client’s needs.

Teri holds the LPCC credential, which authorizes clinical counseling practice in Minnesota, and she is not currently accepting new clients.

Therapeutic Approaches Tailored for Online Care

Teri integrates client-centered therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathic space where the therapist follows the client’s lead, helping people explore values, emotions and relational patterns in order to build self-understanding and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression and stress.

She also draws on solution-focused therapy to help clients set clear, achievable goals and identify strengths and small steps that lead to change. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Teri collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions can be delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities or geographic distance. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care and access consistent support while fitting therapy into everyday life.
