About Justine
Justine Terzinski is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin. She works with adults over 18 who are dealing with anxiety, depression, eating concerns, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and other life stresses. Her style is warm and encouraging, and she focuses on helping people feel heard and supported as they set goals for change.
She draws on empowerment-focused ideas that aim to rebuild self-worth and improve day-to-day balance. Sessions often include practical steps for better self-care and small changes that add up over time. Justine emphasizes validation so people feel understood while they work toward goals.
Her background includes six years as an LCSW and additional time in helping roles prior to licensure. That experience informs a straightforward, people-centered approach that uses clear tools and listener-focused therapy. She combines ways of working that match each person's needs rather than relying on a single technique.
In session, she may use client-centered listening alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to address thought patterns, emotions, and daily habits. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help building and keeping momentum for change. Emotionally-focused ideas guide work on relationships and attachment concerns.
Justine welcomes practical conversations about coping with life changes, codependency, body image, parenting stress, and career strain. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflection. It helps people feel understood and safe to talk through hard topics, and it supports work on self-esteem and healing from abandonment or attachment wounds.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behavior patterns. It helps with anxiety, depression, and eating-related concerns by teaching straightforward tools to change unhelpful thinking and habits.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with strong emotions in relationships and attachment struggles. It can be useful when addressing relationship patterns, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match goals and preferences. That might mean trying a mix of listening, skill practice, and emotion-focused exercises until a good fit emerges.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they fit more easily into busy days, make brief check-ins possible, and reduce travel time. Other practical benefits include easier scheduling around work or parenting and the ability to use mindfulness or homework tools between meetings.
