About Jeanie

Jeanie Shade is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and big life changes. She listens closely and focuses on what each person wants to change. Jeanie aims to teach practical skills people can use right away to feel steadier and more capable.

She has eight years of licensed experience and has worked a lot with adults and adolescents in hospital settings. That background gave her practice supporting people through severe mental health challenges and crisis. For the past two years she has run a community group at a local library to teach mental health wellness skills and offer a place to practice them.

Jeanie blends client-centered work with solution-focused methods and mindfulness. In sessions she asks what someone wants to learn or resolve, offers guidance, and teaches concrete exercises. She emphasizes noticing and feeling emotions, grounding, self-compassion, and the difference between surviving and thriving skills.

She also uses some energy-based Emotion Code work alongside talk therapy when appropriate, and will discuss how those options might fit into a plan. Jeanie aims to meet people where they are and build a clear path forward together.

Jeanie practices in Arkansas and holds the credential LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She works in straightforward language and focuses on teaching tools that can be applied to daily life.

Approaches and what online work can offer

Client-centered therapy focuses on a person’s own goals and experiences. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and works alongside the person to set helpful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Jeanie will discuss which methods feel most useful and adapt the plan based on your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where skills and insight are adjusted as needed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online setups help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins during work breaks, or reduce travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to practice mindfulness and behavioral techniques between meetings because they integrate into everyday routines more readily. Check the session options before you schedule to make sure they match what you need.
