About Terry
Terry Hasenzahl is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 25 years of clinical experience. She practices in Missouri and lists a wide range of concerns she addresses, including stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, parenting, relationship and family challenges, trauma, mood conditions, and issues related to identity and intimacy.
Terry takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. Sessions begin by clarifying what matters most to the client and what small steps feel possible. She uses talk, practical skills, and education to help people manage symptoms, cope with life changes, and reduce distress. Work often includes learning new ways to respond to stress, improving sleep, and addressing relationship patterns that cause ongoing strain.
Her practice draws on client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear in her sessions to support decision making, build distress tolerance, and strengthen everyday routines. Narrative ideas may be used to reframe painful memories or family-of-origin themes.
Terry notes experience with blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic health concerns, substance use struggles, and divorce or separation. She also supports people facing midlife transitions, women’s issues, and those coping with grief and loss.
People who choose her often want practical tools plus conversational support. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first session so goals and next steps can be set together.
How sessions work
How Terry uses therapeutic approaches in online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and prioritizing what the client cares about. It helps people clarify goals, identify values, and make decisions that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress and teaches practical tools for mood, anxiety, sleep, and coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Terry will work with the client to identify which methods make sense for their concerns and goals. That could mean a mix of CBT for skill-building, DBT for emotion regulation, and client-centered conversations to set priorities. The plan can be revised as progress is reviewed.
The profile does not list specific online session formats. Confirm available session options before booking so they fit daily routines. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work breaks, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Online work can also make consistent practice of skills and homework easier to sustain between sessions.
