Jataun Rollins, LCSW

Jataun Rollins is a licensed social worker in Illinois who brings a background in community-based counseling and private practice to her work. She began her counseling career facilitating short-term, Bible-based support at Trinity United Church of Christ and launched a private practice in 2012. As a LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, she combines clinical training with practical strategies to help people navigate relationship tensions, family conflicts, career challenges, and major life transitions.

Rollins approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert on their own life, serving as a guide to help clients return to a sense of balance and wellbeing. Her style is intentionally eclectic, drawing on breathing techniques, mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), journaling, and structured homework to build coping skills and foster progress. She emphasizes the importance of taking the first step to unburden life’s challenges and supports clients in translating insights into actionable change.

With experience in both faith-based and private practice settings, Rollins aims to create collaborative therapeutic relationships that honor a client’s strengths while addressing the patterns and stressors that interfere with personal and relational goals.

Trauma-Focused and Practical Approaches via Online Therapy

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps clients process and heal from past traumatic experiences by addressing how those events affect current thoughts, feelings, and relationships. It is often used when people struggle with intense reactions, avoidance, or lingering stress linked to past events.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skill-oriented, useful for managing anxiety, mood challenges, relationship stress, and problem-solving during life transitions.

Mindfulness and breathing techniques support emotional regulation and present-moment awareness, offering simple tools to reduce overwhelm and improve daily coping.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Rollins works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She integrates techniques and tailors sessions so clients can explore options and decide what feels most effective.

Online therapy with Rollins is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible scheduling and easier access for people balancing work, family, or geographic limitations. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care and apply new skills in real life between sessions.
