About Jeanette
Jeanette Salinas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with three decades of clinical experience in California. She earned her master’s degree and LCSW in Sacramento and has spent the last 30 years helping people navigate loss, major life changes, and emotional crises. Her work centers on building a trusting relationship and moving at the client’s pace.
She commonly helps people facing grief and bereavement, including pet loss and caregiving losses. She also supports those coping with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and addiction concerns. Jeanette has experience with parenting stress, relationship and intimacy issues, self esteem, and career-related concerns.
In sessions she uses practical, goal-focused methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, narrative work, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused approaches. She outlines clear stages for moving forward after major changes and adapts methods to fit each person’s needs. Sessions are collaborative and paced to feel manageable.
Jeanette has worked with people across the lifespan, including adolescents and older adults, and also provides support to caregivers looking after elderly or chronically ill family members. She supervises associate clinical social workers and marriage and family therapy interns as part of licensure training.
Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, and Jeanette aims to make the process less frightening. She focuses on steady progress, practical tools, and building trust so clients can find clearer direction and greater resilience.
