About Terry
Terry Hasenzahl is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 25 years of clinical experience. She brings a warm, engaging approach and aims to make therapy a straightforward place to get help. Parents who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about their next steps may find practical support and clear guidance in her sessions.
Terry focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and relationship strain. She also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, sleep problems, anger, and life transitions.
Background and approach
Her style is collaborative and strengths-based, so clients and the therapist work together to set goals and try realistic steps between sessions. Sessions often include teaching helpful skills and trying small experiments to test new ways of coping.
She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to look at unhelpful thinking and from dialectical behavior therapy to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Motivational interviewing is used to help people find their own reasons to change. Terry practices in Missouri and holds LMFT licensure.
She has worked with a wide range of concerns across adulthood and brings long-term experience to each case. People seeking a steady, supportive clinician who focuses on clear, actionable work may connect well with her approach. Her work balances empathy with practical steps.
That combination is aimed at reducing overwhelm and increasing everyday functioning. Many clients come for help with relationships, parenting strain, mood concerns, or managing stress, and Terry frames each plan around what matters most to the individual.

How Terry’s Methods Work Online
Terry commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping clients find their own solutions; it can help people clarify values and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change unhelpful habits.She may also draw on dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills when strong emotions or relationship conflicts are present. DBT techniques are practical and skill-based, helping with impulsivity, anger, and mood swings in clear steps.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Terry works with each person to choose and adapt methods based on their goals, lifestyle, and what feels most useful. The first sessions usually focus on understanding needs and trying a few techniques to see what fits.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and visual connection, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work schedules.
