Jeanie Shade

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a licensed clinical social worker/therapist licensed in the states of Idaho, Montana, and Arkansas. I have 7 years of licensed experience and many years prior of serving people in different capacities. The majority of my licensed experience has been within a hospital setting for adults and adolescents with severe mental health issues. I have seen firsthand the incredible change that often occurs with a person given the opportunity to tell his/her/their story, be genuinely listened to, and be guided to the innate wisdom to wellness that already resides within. For the last two years, I have also been leading a group at my local library to teach mental health wellness skills to community members and providing a setting for the members to practice these new wellness skills. I really enjoy teaching skills that can be applied to all sorts of situations in life, no matter what your story or circumstances.

My counseling style is based on being present with a client, not just hearing, but truly listening and being a witness to another. I will want to know what exactly a client wants to learn or resolve and I will provide guidance and insight and teach skills accordingly. I will also introduce ideas I consider foundational to wellness, including mindfulness, really leaning in and feeling our emotions, centeredness and grounding, self-love, the difference between surviving skills and thriving skills, and exploring beliefs and how they create our life stories. My approach combines client-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness therapy as we weave together practical behavioral approaches with deep insights into why we are the way we are and how this can transform.

I am also a Certified Emotion Code Practitioner (CECP). The Emotion Code is a form of energy healing. Its premise is that we can trapped unprocessed emotions in as a “stuck” frequency in our energy bodies. As a practitioner, I can assist you in identifying trapped emotions, discovering when they were trapped and in response to what event, and then releasing the stuck energy with intention. You can learn more at Discover Healing (discoverhealing.com). You can view my certification at https://discoverhealing.com/certified-practitioners/. The BetterHelp platform offers you a great opportunity to try out an energy healing modality. I have the flexibility to combine Emotion Code work with a more traditional talk therapy session, or focus solely on Emotion Code one day and talk therapy another day. Give it a try!

It takes courage to choose an opportunity for growth and change. I am here to join you on such a journey.

About

Jeanie Shade is a licensed clinical social worker who practices in Idaho, Montana, and Arkansas and brings eight years of licensed experience to her work. Much of her clinical career has been spent in hospital settings supporting adults and adolescents with severe mental health concerns, and she also spent many years before licensure serving people in a variety of roles.

She believes profound change often happens when someone is given the chance to tell their story, be truly heard, and be guided back to the inner wisdom that supports wellness. For the past two years she has led a community group at her local library, teaching mental health wellness skills and providing a space for members to practice those new skills. She particularly enjoys teaching practical tools that apply across many life situations, regardless of a person’s background or circumstances.

Jeanie’s counseling style centers on being present with each client – not just hearing words but listening deeply and witnessing another person’s experience. She begins by clarifying what a client wants to learn or resolve, then offers guidance, insight, and skills training tailored to those goals. She introduces foundational concepts such as mindfulness, intentionally feeling emotions, centeredness and grounding, self-love, the distinction between surviving skills and thriving skills, and examining beliefs that shape life stories.

Her therapeutic approach blends client-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness practices to weave practical behavioral strategies with deeper exploration of why people are the way they are and how that understanding can support transformation. She is also a Certified Emotion Code Practitioner (CECP). The Emotion Code is an energy-healing method that works from the premise that unprocessed emotions can become trapped in the energy body; as a practitioner she helps identify those trapped emotions, trace when and in response to what event they occurred, and release the stuck energy with intention. Jeanie has the flexibility to combine Emotion Code work with traditional talk therapy in the same course of care, or to focus on Emotion Code during some sessions and talk therapy during others.

Her credentials reflect her clinical training and licensure to practice social work across state lines; her Arkansas and Idaho license identifiers are AR LCSW 12579-C and ID LCSW LCSW-39227. Choosing therapy requires courage, and Jeanie is available to accompany people on that path toward growth and change.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people ask whether virtual therapy can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions, online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.

One major benefit is flexibility – clients can meet with a therapist in the format that fits their routine and comfort level, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to make therapy a consistent part of daily life.

All therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and individuals retain the option to change therapists if they need a different fit. Online therapy offers a practical, accessible way to work toward mental health goals while maintaining professional clinical standards.
