Jeanine Taylor

Jeanine Taylor is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 25 years in social work and long experience in private practice. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and trauma. Jeanine names women’s issues among her additional focuses and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions.

She frames concerns in the context of a person’s whole life. That means talking about roles, routines, and pressures that affect mood and relationships. Sessions aim to build on a person’s strengths and to create steps that feel doable between meetings.

Jeanine uses client-centered techniques to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice thoughts that increase stress and to try small behavior changes. Solution-focused conversations are used to identify practical next steps when people want a clear plan.

Somatic ideas are included when physical tension or body signs of stress come up. That can mean simple breathing work, grounding, or noticing how the body holds emotion during a session. Jeanine keeps tools simple and focused on what helps day to day.

Her background includes a master’s degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia and many years working with people facing life transitions. She is a parent and understands the juggling that caregiving can require. To begin, Jeanine asks people to describe their main concerns and what they most want to change.

How Jeanine’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening, reflecting what matters, and shaping sessions around personal goals. It helps when someone wants a therapist who follows their lead and supports their choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online setting CBT typically involves noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them with small behavior changes, and tracking progress between meetings. This is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which tools to try first based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may shift over time as small changes are tested and reviewed.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks or between other commitments. It also supports straightforward, skill-focused sessions that pair well with homework and brief behavioral experiments.
