Terri Lechnyr, Ph.D., PLLC

Do you struggle with anxiety, codependency, people-pleasing, or anxious attachment? Does your mind race with worry or overthinking? Do relationships sometimes leave you feeling insecure or emotionally overwhelmed? Maybe you're single or navigating dating-or perhaps you're intentionally creating a fulfilling solo life and want deeper friendships, stronger community, and greater confidence in yourself. Dr. Terri Lechnyr specializes in helping women with anxiety, attachment, relationships, dating, solo living, friendship, and confidence. Together, we'll help you understand the patterns that keep getting in your way, develop healthier ones, and gain momentum toward a life that feels calmer, more connected, and authentically yours. *TWO WAYS TO WORK WITH ME* I offer two different therapy options depending on your needs, goals, and preferred style of treatment. *OPTION 1: Insurance-Based Individual Therapy Traditional Individual Psychotherapy | Insurance Accepted My insurance-based practice provides individual psychotherapy for adults experiencing concerns such as: Generalized Anxiety Disorder Social Anxiety Disorder/Other Anxiety Diagnoses Resulting worry and overthinking Anxious attachment/Difficulty with saying no Codependency and people-pleasing Boundaries and self-esteem Confidence and Body Image Therapy is individualized to your clinical needs based on a mental health evaluation, diagnosis and treatment and may include exploring underlying patterns, developing insight, learning new coping and relationship skills, and working toward meaningful treatment goals based on mental health symptoms. Insurance-based sessions are billed through participating insurance plans and are subject to your individual plan's benefits, copays, deductibles, and coverage requirements. *OPTION 2: 30+ Minute Solution-Focused Therapy Private Pay | No Insurance Billing Maybe you've tried traditional therapy before and found yourself wondering: Am I actually making progress? What am I supposed to DO differently? This option is designed for women looking for a shorter, highly focused, practical approach to therapy and do not need in depth treatment for psychiatric issues. I offer focused 30+-minute teletherapy sessions combining solution-focused goal setting, practical skill building, straightforward feedback, and engaging exercises to help you understand yourself—and make meaningful changes in your everyday life. This service is private pay and is not billed to insurance. We are working towards your life goals and no mental health diagnosis required unless requested. AREAS WE CAN WORK ON Anxiety, overthinking, and racing thoughts Anxious attachment and relationship patterns Codependency and people-pleasing Boundaries, confidence, and self-esteem Friendship and relationship challenges Feeling calmer and more secure in yourself Dating and single-life challenges Building a fulfilling life outside of romantic relationships Creating stronger friendships and community Setting personal goals and actually moving toward them Create a Life You Love—Partnered or Not I especially enjoy working with single and solo women who want to de-center romance and intentionally build friendship, community, confidence, and a life they genuinely love. You don't have to be single forever-or swear off dating-to benefit from this approach. Whether you're happily single, between relationships, dating, or simply tired of making romantic relationships the center of your life, we can work on creating a life that already feels full. Our work isn't just about understanding why you feel the way you do. We'll focus on what you can do next-developing skills, changing patterns, setting goals, strengthening relationships, and helping you become a calmer, more confident and secure version of yourself. What Is Therapy With Me Like? Clients describe me as energetic, kind, engaging, and straightforward. My style is collaborative, practical, and even fun at times. You can expect warmth and support along with straightforward insight and practical tools you can use outside of our sessions. I don't believe therapy always has to feel heavy. We can take your concerns seriously while still bringing energy, humor, curiosity, and optimism into the process.
