About Jeanie
Jeanie Shade is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of licensed experience. She practices in Arkansas and works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
She draws on straightforward, skills-based work. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, learning practical coping strategies, and practicing new responses. She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help people notice what’s working and build on it.
Shade combines listening with teaching. She asks what a person wants to learn or resolve, then offers guidance, concrete skills, and short-term goals. She also introduces concepts such as grounding, noticing emotions, distinguishing survival skills from thriving skills, and examining beliefs that shape daily choices.
Her background includes extensive hospital work with adults and adolescents who had severe mental health needs. For the last two years she has led a public library group teaching mental health wellness skills and giving participants a place to try those skills in real life.
She can integrate talk-based therapy with energy work called the Emotion Code when a person chooses that option. The Emotion Code approach aims to identify and release what are described as trapped emotions, and sessions can focus on either that work or traditional talk therapy depending on preference.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Jeanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT sessions tend to include clear homework, short experiments, and practice of new skills between meetings to change habits that cause distress.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means she listens closely and follows what the person wants to address. That approach is about asking questions, reflecting back what is said, and supporting the person in choosing next steps.
Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. She will work with each person to choose which approach or combination fits their goals and preferences, and she checks in as work progresses to adjust focus and techniques.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and allow focused skill practice between meetings. They can also allow a shorter check-in when time is limited or an extended session when more work is needed. Licensed professionals can often combine different methods across sessions based on what the person finds most helpful.
