Jataun Rollins , LCSW

Jataun Rollins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois, with professional work experience beginning in 2002 and a private practice started in 2012. She began her counseling journey at Trinity United Church of Christ, where she facilitated short term bible based counseling and developed a foundation in helping people navigate transitions and interpersonal challenges.

Her practice focuses on relationship issues, family conflicts, career difficulties, and coping with life changes. Jataun approaches each person with the belief that they are the expert on their own situation and that her role is to guide them back to a sense of wellbeing. She draws on an eclectic model of engagement, integrating breathing exercises, mindfulness techniques, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), journaling, and practical homework to support progress between sessions.

Clients can expect a strengths-based orientation that emphasizes practical tools and steady encouragement. Jataun highlights the importance of taking the first step to release the weight of life burdens, and she works to help individuals reconnect with their resources and move toward clearer, more manageable ways of living.

Trauma-Informed and Flexible Online Therapeutic Approaches

Jataun Rollins integrates trauma-focused therapy into her work, a targeted approach that helps people process and respond to the effects of traumatic events while building skills to manage stress and emotional reactions. This approach is useful for those who have experienced difficult life events and who need structured support to restore balance.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to produce more adaptive emotional and practical outcomes. In addition, mindfulness and breathing techniques are incorporated to support emotional regulation and reduce overwhelm during times of change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Jataun will work with each person to identify methods that align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy life or when in-person visits are not possible. These options help maintain continuity of care and allow people to engage in therapy from locations that work best for them.
