About Terry
Terry Hasenzahl is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 25 years of experience. She offers a warm, calm presence and aims to help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or drained by life’s challenges. Terry focuses on building trust so people can begin to feel more peaceful and authentic in day-to-day life.
She listens first and talks with each person about what matters to them. Sessions tend to be collaborative and practical, with clear steps to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Terry draws on narrative ideas to help people reframe their stories and on client-centered work to follow what the person needs in the moment. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness skills and DBT strategies are added when someone needs tools for emotion regulation and coping.
Terry combines these approaches rather than following a single method, tailoring each plan to the individual’s goals. Terry has worked on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, self-esteem, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, career shifts, bipolar and depression, and ADHD.
She also supports people facing aging- and caregiver-related challenges, chronic illness or pain, blended family issues, and divorce or separation. Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Terry practices from Missouri and holds marriage and family therapy licensure in Missouri and Nevada.

How narrative and practical approaches work online
Therapy often combines a few approaches to meet a person’s needs. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and their lives, helping them separate themselves from problems and try new meanings. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience, with the therapist listening closely and following the client’s goals and pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and offers concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. These methods are useful for anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma reactions, and managing stress or addiction-related behaviors.
Finding the right mix is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps make sure tools and techniques match what the person wants to change.
Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can help with shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options offer flexibility for different schedules, quieter surroundings, and people who prefer not to be on camera.
