About Justine
Justine Terzinski is a Wisconsin licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with six years of clinical experience. She offers therapy to adults dealing with anxiety, depression, eating and body image concerns, self-esteem struggles, relationship and family issues, parenting strain, and related stressors. Sessions are aimed at people navigating life changes, trauma or addiction concerns as well as work and fertility stress.
She uses practical, person-focused methods to help people notice patterns and make changes that fit their lives. In sessions she draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems running. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas help when the focus is on strong emotions tied to relationship or attachment issues.
Mindfulness techniques are used to develop present-moment awareness and manage intense reactions. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is weighing change or struggling with commitment and follow-through. These methods are used in simple, step-by-step ways rather than jargon-heavy explanations.
Justine emphasizes improving self-worth and practical habits that reduce stress. She often works with people on communication problems, blended family concerns, adoption or foster care related difficulties, and family-of-origin themes. Sessions also address eating and food-related issues, codependency, and forgiveness work.
People who choose her tend to want clear, down-to-earth guidance and tools they can use between sessions. She asks questions, listens to personal history, and helps set small goals to test what works. If unsure about whether this approach fits, readers are encouraged to complete the matching questionnaire before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches fit into online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and can explore what matters most. It helps adults who need to sort through feelings about relationships, parenting, or family history. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and eating-related patterns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort with different techniques. That might mean trying mindfulness practices one week and CBT exercises the next to see what helps most. Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer audio-only conversations when bandwidth is limited or when they want a less intense session. The main practical benefit is flexibility so therapy can fit into everyday life while using methods like CBT, EFT, and mindfulness to work on concrete concerns.Areas of focus
