About Ron

Ron Stroud is a licensed counselor practicing in Minnesota with professional licensure in both Minnesota and South Carolina and 38 years of experience. He holds the credentials LPC and LPCC, which stand for Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, reflecting extensive training and years of clinical practice. Over nearly four decades he has supported people navigating a wide range of concerns, including LGBTQ+ issues, grief and loss, parenting challenges, self-esteem and confidence, attention and concentration difficulties, memory concerns, and ADHD.

His work also extends to a variety of related life issues such as aging and geriatric concerns, blended family dynamics, cancer-related adjustment, forgiveness, gender dysphoria, life purpose, military and veteran matters, multicultural and prejudice-related challenges, and workplace stress. Ron emphasizes a strengths-based outlook, working from the premise that each person is the expert of their own story and already possesses resources that can be mobilized for healing and growth. He aims to support people through the courageous first steps toward greater fulfillment and well-being, offering steady guidance as clients explore goals, build skills, and address the challenges that brought them to therapy.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Ron works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and personal strengths. One common emphasis is on skills-based problem solving and coping strategies that help clients manage attention, organization, and everyday functioning - approaches that are useful for ADHD, concentration challenges, and work or family demands. He also uses grief-focused and meaning-oriented methods that support people processing loss and life transitions, helping them find ways to adapt and reconnect with purpose. A strengths-based, collaborative orientation guides sessions so clients' own knowledge and values shape the work together.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ron partners with each person to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time to ensure the best match. This collaborative approach helps tailor care for issues such as parenting, self-esteem, LGBTQ+ concerns, and aging-related changes.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or on the go, maintain consistency in sessions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for ongoing work.
