About Jeanie
Jeanie Shade is a licensed clinical social worker who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by life’s pressures. She focuses on practical skills and clear listening so clients can make small, useful changes. Jeanie writes simply and meets people where they are, whether they want short-term guidance or longer conversations about their patterns.
Jeanie holds an LCSW and has worked in clinical settings for eight years. Much of her experience came from hospital work with adults and adolescents facing severe mental health challenges. More recently she has led community groups at a local library to teach and practice mental health wellness skills.
In sessions she centers on listening and witnessing what a person brings. She asks what a client wants to learn or resolve and then teaches skills aligned with those goals. Her style blends client-centered listening with solution-focused exercises and mindfulness practices to help clients notice what is working and make changes.
Jeanie also offers Emotion Code work, an energy-focused approach intended to find and release unprocessed emotions. She can combine that with talk-based sessions or focus on it separately, according to a client’s preference. Information about the Emotion Code is available from its developer, Discover Healing.
Her common areas of focus include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar mood concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Jeanie encourages people to try a supportive approach and to learn skills they can use outside sessions.
How her methods translate to online work
Jeanie uses client-centered therapy to make space for each person’s story. That approach focuses on listening, understanding, and following the client’s lead to identify what they want to change or learn. It is useful when someone needs a compassionate listener and personal reflection to move forward.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT involves practical exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and coping, and it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jeanie will work with clients to decide which methods match their goals and preferences, and she may combine approaches as needed. That way the work stays focused on the client’s priorities and practical steps they can try between sessions.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, shorten check-ins when needed, and practice skills in real-time between responsibilities. Licensed professionals can use these benefits to help clients build routines and apply skills where they live and work.
