Justine Terzinski, LCSW

Justine Terzinski is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin who provides therapy to adults aged 18 and older. As an LCSW, she is trained to address complex emotional and relational concerns and to support clients in building practical skills for everyday life. With six years of experience in clinical practice, she focuses on concerns such as anxiety, depression, eating and body image issues, self-esteem struggles, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, addictions, bipolar disorder, and parenting difficulties.

Her approach centers on empowerment and healing, emphasizing self-worth and a balanced, holistic view of wellbeing. She integrates techniques that promote self-care and gradual skill development so clients can strengthen their sense of agency and improve daily functioning. Justine brings a compassionate and supportive presence to sessions, prioritizing listening, validation, and collaborative goal-setting.

She aims to encourage clients to identify practical steps toward their goals while exploring underlying patterns that affect mood, relationships, and self-image. Prospective clients who are ready to work on stress, coping with life changes, relationship dynamics, or identity-related concerns are invited to reach out to explore whether her style is a good fit.

Approaches and Online Care for Lasting Change

Justine uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful space where the client’s perspective guides the work - this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help people explore values, build self-esteem, and make meaningful changes. She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with strategies that reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic coping patterns. When relationships and attachment are central concerns she draws on emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), which helps partners and individuals recognize emotional responses and strengthen connection and communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Justine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Clients are encouraged to offer feedback so therapy remains aligned with what matters most to them.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, manage energy levels, and maintain continuity of care from home or another convenient location. These options support consistent, accessible work toward short- and long-term goals with a licensed professional.
