About Ron

Ron Stroud brings 38 years of clinical experience to his practice in Minnesota, and he holds LPC and LPCC credentials. He approaches therapy from the view that each person is the expert on their own life and that building on existing strengths is central to making meaningful changes.

Background and approach

Clients seeking help for ADHD are among the specialties he lists, alongside concerns such as LGBT matters, grief and loss, parenting challenges, motivation, self esteem, concentration, and memory.

Ron’s work also extends to issues related to aging and geriatric concerns, blended family dynamics, cancer, forgiveness, gender dysphoria, life purpose, multicultural matters, prejudice and discrimination, workplace difficulties, and veteran and armed forces issues.

He frames the first step toward greater well-being as an act of courage and offers supportive guidance as clients work toward clearer goals and improved functioning. His style emphasizes collaboration, respect for each person’s story, and practical strategies that build on strengths to address the challenges named above.

Evidence-informed approaches and online care

Ron uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building practical skills and improving day-to-day functioning. One common approach he uses emphasizes structured skill-building to improve concentration, memory, motivation, and self esteem; this type of work breaks larger goals into manageable steps and helps clients practice strategies that support focus and organization. Another approach centers on exploring life meaning and coping with loss or identity concerns, offering space to process grief, examine values, and develop purposeful plans for the future.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ron works with clients to identify priorities, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then tailors techniques to match those needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan. Together they evaluate what is working and make adjustments over time to better support progress.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexible scheduling and access from different locations. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult, while licensed professionals guide the therapeutic process through the modality that best fits each client's routine and goals.
