Justine Terzinski

Justine Terzinski is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin who offers therapy to adults. She brings six years of clinical practice and earlier helping roles to sessions with people facing anxiety, depression, eating and self-esteem concerns, relationship troubles, and trauma. Her work focuses on building self-worth and practical coping skills so people can move forward in daily life.

Justine emphasizes an empowerment-based approach. She listens closely and helps people set small, achievable goals. Sessions often include clear tools for stress, mood management, and improving communication. Her style is calm, encouraging, and direct, with attention to how problems show up in day-to-day routines.

She draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when past hurt affects present functioning, and uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person's own priorities central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas help reframe unhelpful thinking, while Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports exploring important feelings. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce arousal and increase present-moment awareness.

Justine also works with concerns such as adoption and foster care issues, attachment and family-of-origin difficulties, body image and eating-related struggles, codependency, and compassion fatigue. She supports people dealing with parenting stress, career decisions, and life transitions. Sessions aim to balance practical steps with emotional healing.

People who prefer a strengths-focused, respectful approach that blends skill-building with empathic listening may find her approach helpful. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Justine uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help when past events continue to cause distress in daily life; this approach focuses on understanding how memories and reactions affect current behavior and relationships. She also practices Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions follow the person's priorities and pace, emphasizing listening, empathy, and the client's own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques are used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Justine collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That process can include trying different techniques and checking in often to see what helps most.

Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into a busy life, such as by cutting commute time and allowing appointments during lunch breaks or after work. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises or CBT tools between meetings. Confirm the session options available before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Licensed professionals can work with clients to shape practical plans that match everyday routines and treatment goals.
