About Jeanie
Jeanie Shade is a licensed clinical social worker who offers supportive, practical therapy for people coping with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and other big life challenges. She writes plainly and listens closely, helping each person name what they want to change and learn concrete skills to move forward.
Jeanie brings eight years of licensed experience and earlier work helping people in several community roles. Much of her licensed work has been in hospital settings with adults and adolescents facing severe mental health issues.
Background and approach
That background informs a calm, steady style and a focus on real-world tools that people can use between sessions. She teaches and practices mindfulness skills, grounding, and ways to hold strong feelings so they can be worked through rather than avoided. Jeanie also draws from client-centered and solution-focused approaches to help people discover their own answers and try workable steps toward goals.
Sessions often include skill teaching and short exercises to practice at home. Jeanie has led a community group at her local library to teach mental health wellness skills and provide a place to practice new habits. She believes many people benefit from learning both short-term coping techniques and deeper exploration of beliefs that shape behavior.
She combines talk-based work with optional energy-healing sessions called the Emotion Code when a person is interested in that method. Jeanie aims to meet people where they are and help them build the tools and insight needed to handle stress, anxiety, and life's changes.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. In this approach the therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them discover their own solutions. It is useful when someone wants a supportive space to talk through feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses short exercises and practical tools to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT works well for people who want clear steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jeanie will talk with a person about their goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits. Together they decide which mix of listening, skills work, mindfulness, or solution-focused steps feels most helpful.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction from wherever they are, phone sessions can fit into a short break, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, and other commitments.
