About Terry

Terry Hasenzahl is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of experience. She offers a warm, caring presence for people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by life. Terry focuses on helping individuals find clearer direction and more satisfying relationships through practical, steady support.

She meets people where they are and works collaboratively to set goals that matter to them. Sessions often include teaching skills, practicing new ways of thinking, and building habits that reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning. Terry emphasizes strengths and draws on approaches that help clients notice what already works for them.

Terry uses client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her approach when they fit a client's needs. The goal is to blend methods that match each person's situation rather than follow a single formula.

Her background includes many years helping people face grief, anxiety, depression, addiction, and self-esteem challenges. She also addresses family-of-origin issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and life transitions. This breadth gives her experience working through both immediate problems and longer-term patterns.

Terry is licensed as an LMFT in Missouri and Nevada. She offers straightforward guidance about next steps, and she supports people who want practical tools as well as deeper personal change.

How Terry Applies Practical Approaches Online

Terry draws on client-centered work that focuses on the person's own goals and strengths. This approach means sessions start with what matters most to the client and build from their priorities and values.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or lift mood. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or relationship patterns are central concerns; these skills give concrete tools for handling intense feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Terry talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is available. Online work can make scheduling easier, help fit therapy into a busy day, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in their everyday routines while getting guidance from a licensed professional.
