About Jeanette
Jeanette Salinas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of clinical experience in California. She holds a master’s degree and her LCSW was earned in Sacramento. Jeanette focuses on grief and loss, trauma, and major life transitions and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable.
Clients can expect calm, steady pacing in sessions and an emphasis on building trust. She uses clear, practical methods to help people cope after loss, manage symptoms of anxiety or depression, and handle ongoing stressors. Sessions move at the client's comfort level and focus on small, achievable changes.
Her background includes work with people living with bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, borderline personality patterns, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports those caring for elderly or chronically ill family members and offers guidance through end-of-life and caregiving challenges. Pet loss and other forms of bereavement are also part of her practice.
Jeanette blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and trauma-focused approaches as needed. She says the right mix depends on the person and the problem, and she tailors techniques to the situation.
Beyond direct care, she supervises associate clinical social workers and marriage and family therapy interns working toward licensure. Her style aims for practical progress while acknowledging how hard change can feel. She invites people to take therapy at their own pace and to make the process a worked-through, hopeful journey.
How Jeanette’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Jeanette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy as core parts of her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process past traumatic events and develop coping skills to reduce triggers and improve daily functioning.She treats finding the right method as a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals, try approaches, and adjust what they do based on what helps. This lets the plan change over time as needs and circumstances evolve.
The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when a full visit is not needed. It also lets work continue when transitions or caregiving responsibilities make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can help choose pacing, homework, and tools that fit practical everyday schedules.
