About Jeanette

Jeanette Salinas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with three decades of experience in California. She focuses on grief and loss alongside a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns. Her approach centers on building trust and moving at each person’s pace during sessions.

She trained and earned her master’s degree in Sacramento and has worked across many settings. That background shaped practical methods for helping people after major life changes.

Background and approach

Jeanette uses clear steps to help people find footing after loss or trauma. Sessions emphasize a collaborative relationship. She listens for what matters most and tailors conversations to each person’s goals.

The work can include identifying patterns, learning coping skills, and setting small, manageable steps forward. Jeanette mixes therapy styles to fit the issue at hand. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy may be used to address intense emotions and unhelpful thinking.

Narrative and Solution-Focused methods are used to reframe stories and set short-term goals. She has particular experience with grief including pet loss, transitions, PTSD, and trauma. Her practice also includes support related to mood disorders, caregiving stress, and life-stage challenges.

People who prefer a steady, paced process tend to do well with her style.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Jeanette often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this method is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is another common approach she uses to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills for intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend techniques that fit those needs. Goals and methods can be adjusted as work progresses so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats help people fit sessions around work, caregiving, or other demands while keeping therapy consistent and practical.
