About Tina

Tina Jerolds is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois with 22 years of experience supporting people through a broad range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She has worked extensively with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and life transitions, substance-related issues, grief, mood disorders including bipolar, and ADHD. Her practice also addresses guilt and shame, social anxiety, sexual assault and women's issues, and compassion fatigue.

Her style blends a client-centered stance with cognitive behavioral techniques, creating a collaborative atmosphere where clients' values and goals guide the work. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring interventions to each person’s specific needs.

Tina frames therapy as a process of being heard and witnessed, helping clients explore practical coping strategies alongside deeper emotional healing. With training from Southern Illinois University and a long background in child welfare and mental health, she draws on years of varied clinical settings to inform treatment.

Outside of professional life she enjoys outdoor activities, hiking and cycling, writing, and spending time with family and her golden retriever, Ruby.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and aligning work with each person's values and priorities; it helps people feel heard and shapes treatment around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and learning practical skills to shift behaviors and emotional responses, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tina works collaboratively to determine what fits best. She will explore a client's concerns, goals, and preferences together with them and adapt methods over time, combining client-centered support with CBT strategies as appropriate.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into a busy life or connect from different locations within Illinois. These formats allow for continuity of care and timely communication while supporting a range of therapeutic activities from skills practice to reflective conversation.
