About Jeanie

Jeanie Shade is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, self esteem concerns, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma, and bipolar mood issues. She speaks plainly and listens closely to what each person wants to change. Jeanie centers sessions on practical skills and real goals so people can try new ways of coping between meetings.

Jeanie has eight years of licensed experience, including much work with adults and adolescents in hospital settings. She also runs community education groups teaching mental health wellness skills at a local library. That mix of hospital work and public teaching shapes her focus on useful tools that people can apply in daily life.

Her counseling style is present and attentive. She aims to be more than a listener and to witness a person’s story while helping them name what they want to learn or solve. Sessions commonly include learning grounding, mindfulness, emotion awareness, and distinguishing surviving skills from thriving skills.

Jeanie blends client-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness therapy. She combines practical behavioral steps with conversation about beliefs and patterns that shape someone’s life story. Her work emphasizes simple practices that can alter how people feel and respond day to day.

Jeanie also offers Emotion Code work, an energy healing approach she practices alongside talk therapy when requested. She invites people to explore what fits for them and to take small steps toward clearer goals and steadier coping.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Jeanie uses client-centered work to focus on each person's priorities and strengths. That approach means conversations start with what matters to the client and move at a comfortable pace while building practical steps to reach goals.

She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice patterns of thinking and behavior and then try small, concrete experiments to change them. CBT-style tools work well for anxiety, low mood, and improving self esteem through actionable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jeanie treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She may introduce mindfulness, solution-focused steps, or Emotion Code work as options to try together.

Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up work between meetings. Some formats are better for short check-ins or when video bandwidth is limited, while others support longer skill-teaching sessions. Jeanie aims to match approach and practical format so therapy fits real life.
