About Terry

Terry Hasenzahl is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, or stuck. She brings 25 years of experience and a warm, caring style that aims to make sessions feel approachable. People who are dealing with sleep problems, relationship strain, grief, addiction, or shifting life roles may find her practical support useful.

In sessions Terry works collaboratively and without judgment. She leans on a client-centered way of working that encourages people to name their goals and build on their strengths. She also uses concrete tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to help manage stress, mood, and racing thoughts that can interfere with rest.

Her background includes long clinical experience with relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting and family issues, and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar concerns. She also supports people facing caregiving burdens, chronic illness, and the effects of major life transitions.

Terry mixes skills-based teaching and motivational techniques to help people make realistic changes. She can offer strategies for better sleep routines, anxiety coping, and handling strong emotions. Sessions emphasize small, doable steps that fit into everyday life.

She holds the LMFT credential and practices in Missouri. Sessions are conversational and focused on what the person wants to change, with a steady focus on building more peaceful and sustainable daily routines.

Approaches for sleep, stress, and everyday coping

Terry commonly uses client-centered work that starts by understanding what matters most to the person and building on existing strengths. This approach helps clarify goals and keeps sessions focused on practical change.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks down how thoughts, behaviors, and physical reactions interact. CBT offers concrete strategies for managing anxiety, adjusting sleep habits, and reducing unhelpful thinking that interferes with rest.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Terry will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining skills training, motivational interviewing techniques, and mindfulness practices until a useful mix is found.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. Some people appreciate fewer barriers to regular check-ins and the ability to try techniques between sessions in real life. A conversation at the first meeting will clarify which session formats are available and how they can be shaped to support sleep, stress, and day-to-day coping.
