About Ron
Ron Stroud is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 38 years of professional experience. He is licensed in Minnesota and South Carolina. He works with adults on issues such as LGBT concerns, grief and loss, parenting struggles, self-esteem, motivation, concentration, and memory.
He frames clients as the experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use to manage everyday problems. Conversations are direct and aimed at clearer thinking, steadier motivation, and improved confidence.
Ron has a long background in a range of life challenges, including aging and geriatric issues, blended family issues, cancer, forgiveness, gender dysphoria, life purpose, veteran and armed forces issues, multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and workplace stress. He draws on that breadth to help people see connections between past experience and current patterns.
He emphasizes straightforward skills and planning to address attention and memory concerns. With parenting-related struggles he helps individuals clarify roles, set practical routines, and improve communication patterns that affect daily life.
For someone feeling stuck after loss or grappling with identity issues, his style is goal-focused and strength-based. He encourages small steps that fit into the client’s real life and follows progress over time.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Many clinicians use evidence-based techniques that focus on concrete skills and clear goals. One common approach emphasizes skill-building for attention and memory problems, using structured exercises and daily planning tools to improve focus and follow-through. This can help with ADHD-related concentration issues and routine management.Another frequently used method targets grief and adjustment by helping people make short-term plans, organize reminders of progress, and practice coping strategies that reduce overwhelm. That approach is practical and symptom-focused rather than purely reflective.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about current concerns, goals, and what has helped before, then recommend methods that fit the person’s needs. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted over time as progress is reviewed.
