Terry Hasenzahl

Terry Hasenzahl is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, grieving, or stuck in difficult relationship patterns. Terry aims to make therapy approachable and practical so people can begin to feel steadier and more authentic in day-to-day life.

Her style is warm, caring, and collaborative. Sessions center on building trust and looking for strengths a person already has. Terry uses straightforward teaching, skill practice, and guided reflection so clients can try new ways of coping between sessions.

Terry blends client-centered work with skills-based approaches when a clear plan helps. She draws on mindfulness practices to help people stay present, and on cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. Motivational interviewing and narrative ideas can help when people need to sort values and make concrete changes.

Her clinical focus covers stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, anger, career issues, bipolar and depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues that arise from aging, blended families, caregiving, chronic illness, disaster-related stress, divorce, and eating or substance concerns.

Terry is licensed as an LMFT in Missouri and Nevada and conducts work in Missouri. Sessions are offered in English and she draws on a long practice history to tailor care to each person’s needs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build calm. It is often useful for anxiety, sleep trouble, stress, and coping with strong emotions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and understanding so people feel heard and can find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs support to sort feelings and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals, current problems, and personal preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting as needed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit help into a busy life by reducing travel time and letting sessions happen from wherever schedules allow. It also lets people practice mindfulness or behavioral skills in their real environments and bring those experiences back into sessions.
