Terry Hasenzahl , LMFT

Terry Hasenzahl is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Missouri and Nevada who brings more than 25 years of clinical experience supporting individuals, couples, and families. Her style is warm, caring, and engaging, and she emphasizes building trusting, nonjudgmental relationships in which clients can explore concerns and pursue meaningful change. She adopts a person-centered, strengths-based stance and collaborates with clients to help them move toward more peaceful, authentic, and fulfilling lives.

Terry uses psychoeducation and an array of therapeutic interventions to match each person or family’s needs. Her work includes cognitive-behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), EMDR level 1 training, narrative and solution-focused methods, mindfulness practices, insight-oriented therapies, and family systems approaches. These methods are selected to address patterns, skills, and stories that interfere with well-being.

She recognizes how difficult it can be to reach out for help and values the courage it takes to begin therapy. Terry aims to create a collaborative environment where clients can gain understanding, build skills, and make practical changes that benefit both themselves and the people they care about.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Terry integrates client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and respecting each person’s perspective while helping them build on their own strengths. This approach is useful for people seeking a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore personal challenges.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-oriented, often helping with anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management. In addition, Terry employs dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) strategies for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness when strong emotions or relationship patterns interfere with daily life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Terry works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. This collaborative decision making helps tailor sessions to what will be most helpful for each person.

For convenience and flexibility, Terry offers therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care across life transitions while still working with licensed professionals in a therapeutic relationship.
