Justine TerzinskiLCSW

Justine Terzinski is a licensed clinical social worker in Wisconsin who provides psychotherapy to adults. She uses a supportive, practical style to help people facing anxiety, depression, eating concerns, low self-esteem, and relationship stress. Justine writes plainly and aims to make therapy feel understandable and doable for someone juggling parenting, work, or life change.

She has six years of clinical experience as an LCSW and more than a decade in helping roles. That background informs a strengths-based approach that centers on healing and self-worth. Sessions focus on clear goals, small changes, and building daily habits that make life feel steadier.

Justine blends approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered work to create a respectful space, uses cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and brings mindfulness practices to reduce overwhelm. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is uncertain about change.

In a session she listens closely, offers feedback, and helps clients try new ways of coping. Therapy conversations might include problem-solving, skills practice, and short exercises between meetings. She emphasizes self-care and realistic steps rather than quick fixes.

People who find her approach helpful often want concrete ways to manage stress, improve body image and eating patterns, or navigate fertility and parenting concerns. Justine invites people to start with a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a session when they’re ready.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Justine commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals lead the conversation. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors to identify patterns and try simple, targeted changes that reduce distress.

She also brings in elements of mindfulness practice to help with overwhelm and emotional regulation. Mindfulness involves short exercises in attention and breathing that can reduce anxiety and improve focus. These approaches are practical and can be adapted to common pregnancy and childbirth stresses such as body image, fertility-related worry, or changes in identity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level, and adjust those methods over time as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone practice skills between appointments. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and tools so sessions fit everyday life and specific concerns without promising a particular format.
