About Justine
Justine Terzinski is a licensed clinical social worker in Wisconsin who helps adults facing anxiety, depression, eating concerns, low self-esteem, and parenting stress. She brings six years as an LCSW to clinical work and draws on a longer background in helping roles. Justine aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for busy people.
Her style is warm and practical. She centers conversations on a person’s strengths and values. Sessions focus on clear goals like reducing worry, improving body image, or managing life transitions.
Background and approach
She uses tools that help people change habits and feel more grounded day to day. Justine often combines shorter skills work with deeper emotional conversations. That can mean practicing strategies to manage anxiety one week and talking through attachment or past loss the next.
She encourages self-compassion and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Parents will find an emphasis on realistic, doable changes. She supports people who are juggling caregiving, work, and personal needs without promising a single solution.
Topics she frequently addresses include blended family issues, adoption and foster care, fertility concerns, and setting boundaries. Clients can expect a collaborative approach that respects their pace. Justine listens, asks questions, and suggests options based on each person’s situation.
She guides toward clearer communication, healthier coping, and improved self-worth.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where people decide the pace and focus of work; it helps when someone needs validation and clearer self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, mood, or eating-related behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy emphasizes how emotions shape relationships and personal patterns and can help people understand and shift how they respond to strong feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean using CBT tools for immediate symptom relief alongside Client-Centered conversations to build long-term confidence.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face to face when a deeper conversation is helpful. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and daily life.
