About Jeanette

Jeanette Salinas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with three decades of experience in California. She helps people facing grief, major life transitions, trauma, and depression. Jeanette emphasizes building trust and moving at each person’s pace during sessions. She aims to make starting therapy feel less scary and more manageable for people seeking support.

Jeanette’s background includes long-term work with adults and older adults, and supporting caregivers of people with chronic or terminal illness. She brings experience with mood and thought disorders, trauma, and grief from many years in practice. Her approach combines practical tools with listening so people can find what helps them day to day.

In sessions she mixes methods rather than sticking to one model. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell their story and Solution-Focused ideas to build small, usable steps forward.

Jeanette has developed clear stages she uses to help people move forward after big losses or life changes. She supports people coping with caregiving stress, chronic health challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, and addiction concerns. Sessions follow the client’s pace and focus on achievable goals.

Her practice is rooted in respect and steady support. If someone wants help with grief, depression, anxiety, or the strain of caregiving, Jeanette offers experience and a practical, compassionate way to work through those challenges.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Jeanette uses several practical approaches that translate well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavior changes. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and stress by giving concrete skills to try between meetings.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, includes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those tools can help when strong emotions or relationship strain interfere with daily functioning. Narrative Therapy helps people tell and reframe their experiences so painful events take up less space in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, then adjust strategies over time. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to changing needs rather than sticking to one method.

The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use techniques at home between sessions and bring real-life situations into conversation for quicker problem solving.
