Teri Struthers is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of experience providing Christian-informed counseling to individuals and couples facing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges and major life transitions. Her professional background includes nursing, time in the military and teaching at the college level, experiences that contribute to a broad, practical perspective on emotional and relational well-being.

Her counseling style emphasizes relationships and a holistic view of change, blending client-centered care with cognitive-behavioral strategies to help clients increase self-awareness, take responsibility, and pursue greater wellness in multiple areas of life. Teri encourages clients to identify strengths, understand emotional and relational patterns, and develop skills that support lasting change.

With individual clients, she supports exploration of personal strengths, responses to stress, and one’s spiritual life, including the relationship with God and with others. When working with couples, she helps partners examine the unique dynamics of their relationship and the roles they play, fostering teamwork, clearer communication and a deeper commitment. While her Christian faith underpins her approach, she respects each person’s values and collaborates with clients to reach the specific goals they bring to therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Client-centered therapy places the client’s perspective at the center of the process, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where individuals explore their feelings and values to build self-understanding and strengthen relationships. This approach is helpful for issues like self-esteem, life transitions and relational concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviors, using practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression and stress and to develop coping skills for everyday challenges. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying goals and small, achievable steps toward change, making it useful for handling specific problems and navigating life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Teri collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She works alongside clients to adjust techniques and priorities as progress unfolds.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities and geographic constraints. These formats allow licensed professionals to offer consistent, flexible support and to tailor exercises and conversations to the remote setting while maintaining a focus on meaningful, practical progress.
