Jeanine Taylor, LCSW

Jeanine Taylor is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and solution-focused approaches. She aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes with practical strategies. Her style is warm and strengths-based, and she draws on 25 years of experience in social work and mental health care.

Jeanine focuses on problems like relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues with anger or addictions. She also helps with career concerns, self-esteem, communication problems, control issues, and navigating divorce and separation. She describes her work as looking at a person’s life as a whole rather than treating one part in isolation.

In sessions she uses clear, doable tools from CBT to identify unhelpful thoughts and build healthier habits. She pairs those techniques with client-centered listening that centers each person’s goals. Solution-focused ideas help set immediate steps forward when change feels overwhelming.

Jeanine’s background includes a master’s degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia and many years in private practice. She is a parent and understands the practical demands of family life. That perspective often shapes how she helps people set realistic, manageable goals.

People who choose her can expect straightforward conversations, focused skill-building, and attention to strengths. Jeanine emphasizes collaboration and tailors each plan to fit the person’s needs and circumstances.

How CBT and client-centered care work online

Jeanine commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot patterns in thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT sessions online focus on concrete tools such as tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and practicing new behaviors between meetings to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and building on a person's strengths. That approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals based on what matters most to them. Solution-focused techniques are added when quick, practical steps are needed to move forward from overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jeanine works collaboratively to decide which mix of methods fits a person's goals and day-to-day life. She adjusts plans as progress is made so work stays relevant and manageable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations, while phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging allow short check-ins, written reflection, and step-by-step coaching between sessions, making therapy easier to fit into life.
