Justine Terzinski, LCSW

Justine Terzinski is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin who offers therapy to adults. She focuses on helping people cope with anxiety, depression, eating and body-image concerns, and major life changes. Her plain approach aims to make therapy feel usable and down to earth for someone juggling real life stress.

She brings six years of clinical practice as an LCSW and over a decade in the helping professions overall. That mix gives her experience with both short-term problem solving and longer personal work. She uses practical techniques to help clients notice thoughts and change unhelpful patterns.

Her style is compassionate and encouraging. She listens closely and helps people name what matters to them. Sessions often focus on boosting self-esteem, improving coping skills, and building routines that feel manageable.

Justine blends several approaches in session, including client-centered methods that follow the client's lead, cognitive behavioral tools to address thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness practices to calm distress. She also draws on emotionally focused ideas to strengthen connections and motivational interviewing to support change when needed.

People come to her for a range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including relationship and communication problems, parenting strain, career stress, grief and abandonment issues, and compassion fatigue. She encourages prospective clients to consider their goals and reach out when they are ready to start the work.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Justine uses client-centered therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities, meeting people where they are and focusing on what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with practical behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Emotionally-focused ideas are used to notice patterns in relationships and strengthen how people connect with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Justine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress unfolds.

Session formats are not listed in her biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between responsibilities. It also lets people practice skills in everyday settings and bring real situations into sessions for immediate problem solving.
