About Jeanie
Jeanie Shade helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or big life changes. She aims to create a calm space where a person can tell their story and be genuinely listened to. Jeanie uses straightforward skills people can practice between sessions.
She is identified as Jeanie Shade, LCSW, and brings eight years of licensed experience to her work. Jeanie spent much of her licensed career working in hospital settings with adults and adolescents facing severe mental health challenges.
How Jeanie works
That experience shaped her belief that people often already hold the wisdom needed to heal when given attention and practical tools. In the last two years she has led a community group at a local library to teach and practice mental health wellness skills. Her style centers on presence and listening.
She asks clients what they want to learn or change, then offers guidance and teaches skills to meet those goals. Sessions can include learning mindfulness, grounding, and ways to move from surviving to thriving. Jeanie combines client-centered work, solution-focused techniques, and mindfulness-based practices to link simple behaviors with deeper understanding.
She pays attention to beliefs that shape life stories and helps people test new ways of thinking and acting. In addition to talk-based approaches, Jeanie has training in an energy-based method called the Emotion Code and can weave that work into sessions when requested. She encourages a collaborative process and supports people as they try new skills and notice what changes.

Approaches for online care and practical skills
Jeanie uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral ideas to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following what the person needs most, which helps people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches specific techniques to change them, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeanie will collaborate with each person to decide whether to emphasize listening and presence, skill-building, or thought-behavior strategies. Goals, preferences, and how someone responds to techniques guide the plan and adjustments over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, practicing skills between sessions, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives while trying approaches that may help them feel better.
