About Jeanette Salinas

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Thanatologist (specialist in grief and loss). I received my master’s degree and LCSW in Sacramento, California over 30 years ago. I have extensive experience working with all types of clients. My specialty is in grief and loss including pet loss, transitions, PTSD and trauma. In addition, I have experience counseling individuals with Bi-Polar Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, OCD and Borderline Personality Disorder. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and the elderly. I also provide support and counsel to individuals ones who are caring for their elderly parents or a family member who is terminally ill or chronically ill. I have established stages for moving forward after major life changes that have proven to be successful. I believe that trust and the development of a working relationship with you is the first step in the therapy process. The therapy session will be at your pace. I utilize a variety of approaches including CBT, DBT, Narrative and Solution Focused Therapy. I also supervise ACSW and MFTI’s for licensure. I look forward to working with you. Beginning the therapy process can be a leap of faith and feel scary at times. I hope with support I can make this journey a positive one.

“Absolutely someone whose experience and knowledge general concern for just my well being makes her an invaluable resource with my healing journey. I am so lucky to have found her!”

“Jeanette is warm, compassionate, sharp, and perceptive. She is humorous when needed, and serious when needed. I am impressed by her passion for her clients, and how comfortable she is with atypical or unusual grief journeys.”

“August 2024::: I was thrilled to get an invitation from Jeanette Salinas when I submitted my profile and goals assessment, that was very detailed. Her resume is off the charts, and to be matched up with her meant everything to me, because we were near the same age, and had many similar experiences, so I felt like I was talking, confiding in a very close friend, from the beginning. She is very skilled in helping to keep our time on topic and yet still listening so sincerely. I highly recommend Jeanette to anyone and I feel Better Help is a fantastic concept, and has served me perfectly, and nothing could be more convenient for our busy lives. Thank you Jeanette and Better Help for all you do for others !!! God Bless, namaste”
