About Terri
LCSW Dr. Terri Lechnyr has 19 years of clinical experience in Washington and focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, relationships, intimacy-related issues, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. She works with adults who want practical help managing emotional strain and relationship patterns. Sessions draw on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques.
Dr. Lechnyr uses a straightforward, person-focused style. She listens for what matters most, then helps people test small changes that change daily life. That can mean noticing thought patterns that fuel anxiety, practicing short mindfulness exercises to calm racing thoughts, or identifying steps to set healthier boundaries.
Her work also addresses concerns linked to illness and caregiving. She helps people managing cancer-related stress and caregivers who are stretched thin. She supports those coping with shame, guilt, isolation, and the specific pressures women often describe.
Therapy often blends practical problem-solving with attention to personal values. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to clarify goals and try manageable experiments between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) skills are taught in plain language and practiced in real situations.
People who like direct feedback and clear steps tend to find this approach useful. Dr. Lechnyr aims to help clients build confidence, reduce overwhelm, and make choices that fit their priorities. Sessions are conducted in English for residents of Washington.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and supports people in finding their own solutions. This approach helps when someone wants direct, respectful feedback and space to define goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that sustain anxiety or low mood. In sessions a client learns simple practices to challenge unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors between meetings. CBT works well for panic, social anxiety, and recurring negative thoughts.
Mindfulness Therapy uses short attention practices to reduce reactivity and calm racing thoughts. These exercises are taught in bite-sized ways so they can be used during a busy day or stressful moment.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will help identify which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and will adjust techniques as work progresses. Clients are encouraged to talk about what helps and what does not so sessions can be shaped together.
