About Justine
Justine Terzinski is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults over 18 who report stress, anxiety, eating concerns, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, and other life challenges. Her practice also notes work with trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, parenting strains, and issues connected to identity and LGBT concerns.
She favors practical conversations that focus on building self-worth and clearer coping skills. Sessions often cover how thoughts and behaviors interact and how to make small changes that feel doable. She uses client-centered listening alongside methods that look at patterns in thinking and emotion.
In sessions she may include mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing to help people identify values and take steps toward them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy approaches can be used to address how feelings show up in relationships and personal patterns. Her style emphasizes straightforward skills and noticing how old habits still affect daily life.
Justine has experience working with people facing family of origin issues, attachment questions, body image and eating-related concerns, and challenges around commitment or control. She also lists support for those dealing with grief, fertility issues, adoption and foster care history, and compassion fatigue.
She asks clients to select an online option and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client, helping people feel understood while they set goals and priorities. It is useful for people who want someone to follow their lead and clarify personal priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to test and change unhelpful thinking. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, and behavior patterns that cause ongoing stress.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to how emotions shape relationships and personal responses, helping people notice patterns and try new ways of relating when emotions run high.
Choosing an approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what seems to help in early sessions, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. Adjustments are made along the way so the work stays practical and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. The therapist will work with the client to arrange session timing and a format that fits their schedule and day-to-day life.
