About Terri

Dr. Terri Lechnyr works with people who struggle with codependency, people-pleasing, anxious attachment, and racing thoughts, helping them move toward greater calm, confidence, and a more authentic life. She guides clients who want to step away from societal expectations and reclaim a sense of self that feels true and sustainable. Her approach blends straightforward insight with warmth, and many clients note an appreciation for her energy, kindness, and clear feedback.

With 19 years of clinical experience and the LCSW credential - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides professional mental health services - she draws on a range of therapeutic methods to address stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Her additional focus includes caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, issues related to cancer, and women's midlife concerns, among other areas.

Based in Washington, Dr. Lechnyr emphasizes practical strategies and collaborative planning to help clients feel more grounded and empowered. She invites exploration of values and goals so people can make choices that reflect who they truly are and build lives that feel more satisfying and steady.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Dr. Lechnyr integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness techniques into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's own experience and values, creating a supportive environment where people can explore what matters to them and make choices that reflect their authentic selves. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce rumination and promote emotional balance, which can help with stress, racing thoughts, and self-criticism.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Lechnyr works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try strategies, evaluate what helps, and adjust the plan so it fits the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and brief check-ins or messaging can supplement longer appointments through live chat or text-based communication. These options make it easier to access consistent support, accommodate busy schedules, and maintain momentum between sessions while working toward personal goals.
