About Tina
Over the course of her career she has supported clients facing depression, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse from childhood and adulthood, partner abuse, relationship and marital challenges, and the transitions that come with parenting and other life changes. Her work also includes support for issues such as motivation, self-esteem and confidence, addictions, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, along with women's issues, sexual assault and abuse, and social anxiety.
She holds a graduate degree in social work from Southern Illinois University with a concentration in mental health, and her professional background includes extensive experience in child welfare and mental health services. Tina has worked with clients across the lifespan, from young children to geriatric adults, which informs a flexible and developmentally aware approach to care.
Tina emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in therapeutic work and tailors treatment to each person's specific needs. She views reaching out for help as a courageous step and aims to offer a supportive, witness-bearing space that fosters growth and change. Outside of her clinical work she enjoys hiking, cycling, walking her golden Ruby, writing, travel, and spending time with her husband and adult son.
Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Care
Tina Jerolds uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as central tools in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where the client leads the pace and direction of work; it is helpful for building self-esteem, exploring values, and managing life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; it is often effective for symptoms of anxiety, depression, and for developing practical coping skills.
Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Tina works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, and she adapts methods over time so treatment aligns with what is most helpful for the individual.
Online therapy formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer remote access. These options make it possible to continue consistent, focused work without travel, to schedule sessions more easily, and to use different communication styles depending on the moment and the concern at hand.
