About Justine
Justine Terzinski is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin. She works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, eating or body image concerns, and struggles with self-esteem. She also helps people facing career stress, grief from life changes, addictive behaviors, and compassion fatigue.
She has six years of clinical experience and a decade in helping roles overall. That background shapes a practical, respectful approach to therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on listening first, then identifying small steps that feel doable. Her work blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centered care and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she pays attention to emotional patterns, the relationship with oneself, and the thoughts that keep people stuck.
She uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing when useful to build awareness and momentum for change. In sessions clients can expect a calm, encouraging tone and an emphasis on building self-worth. The therapist aims to validate difficult feelings while offering concrete tools for coping and communication.
Goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made. Justine also takes time to address issues connected to family of origin, attachment and adoption or foster care experiences. She supports people working through relationship questions, parenting stress, fertility and blended family challenges, and forgiveness work.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions show up in relationships and in a person's inner life. Online sessions can be a place to notice those emotional patterns, name what is happening, and practice new ways of responding. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. In virtual sessions this means the therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they hear, and creates space for people to be heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Over video or messaging the therapist can teach simple CBT tools like thought records and activity plans that fit day-to-day life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That can mean mixing emotion-focused exploration with CBT skill-building and some mindfulness or motivational interviewing when needed.
Online formats here include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well when visual cues and full conversation are helpful. Phone can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or step-by-step coaching between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
