About Jeanette
Jeanette Salinas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with thirty years of clinical experience. She focuses on grief and loss, trauma, major life transitions, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and depression. Her work also covers stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and parenting concerns, and caregiving challenges.
She describes grief and loss as a central part of her practice, including pet loss and long-term caregiving strain. She offers structured stages to move forward after major changes, and she adapts the pace of sessions to each person. Trust and a practical working relationship come first in her approach.
Her clinical style draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She combines these methods to address symptoms and everyday problems, and she explains techniques plainly during sessions. Sessions include talking through feelings, practicing behavior strategies, and identifying steps that feel manageable.
Jeanette has experience across the lifespan, having supported children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, as well as people caring for terminally or chronically ill relatives. She also supervises associate clinicians pursuing licensure. Her language of practice is English, and she works from California.
People who prefer clear, steady guidance and practical tools often find her approach useful. She asks clients to set goals and decide pace. The first step is a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Jeanette commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy and also integrates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, which helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to traumatic memories and symptoms while building safety and practical skills for managing reactions. DBT contributes concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication when emotions run high.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She discusses options with each person and adjusts methods based on goals, symptom patterns, and what feels manageable. Clients collaborate on which techniques to try and how quickly to progress.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time so people can use a lunch break or evening hour more effectively. Licensed professionals, including this LCSW, use these approaches to focus on practical skills and step-by-step changes that fit everyday life.
