About Ron

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, with 38 years of experience based in Minnesota. Ron Stroud helps people with LGBT concerns, grief and loss, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and ADHD-related issues. He speaks English and works from a long clinical background in these areas.

Ron frames therapy around the client's knowledge of their own life. He treats the person as the expert on their story and looks for strengths that can be used to address current struggles. Sessions focus on clear goals such as improving motivation, bolstering confidence, and strengthening concentration and memory skills.

He has worked with a wider set of issues over his career, including aging and geriatric concerns, blended family questions, cancer-related adjustment, forgiveness, gender dysphoria, life purpose, veteran and armed forces issues, multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and workplace challenges. Those areas inform how he listens and plans practical next steps with each person.

Ron describes the first step as a small act of courage. In early meetings he clarifies what the client wants to change and outlines approachable ways to move toward those goals. He aims for straightforward conversations and realistic tasks between sessions.

People who choose him can expect a steady, experience-based approach that focuses on skills and strengths. He asks questions, offers observations, and helps shape achievable plans people can use in daily life.

Evidence-based techniques and remote care options

Ron describes his work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills. One common approach involves skill-building for attention and memory, which uses structured exercises and strategies to improve concentration and daily functioning. Another approach centers on grief support, using guided conversation and coping strategies to help people manage loss and rebuild routines.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. The emphasis is on matching techniques to what the person finds useful and sustainable.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists generally use remote sessions to continue skill practice between meetings and to support steady progress toward agreed goals.
