Jodi uses straightforward, person-focused methods in sessions. She draws on client-centered work that focuses on each person's goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT skills for managing strong emotions.

She includes mindfulness and narrative approaches to help people slow down, notice patterns, and reframe difficult stories from their past. Jodi says she will shape a plan that fits each person, mixing tools from different approaches as needed. She also can incorporate biblical perspectives when that matches a client's values.

Jodi is licensed in Oregon and Tennessee and works from Tennessee. Sessions are conducted in English. She notes that chat and phone sessions work best for her schedule as a parent of a toddler, so confirm current session options before booking.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and experiences. It means the therapist listens carefully and follows what matters most to the client, shaping sessions around their priorities and pace.

Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives practical tools to test and change thinking patterns.

Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes skills for tolerating strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can be helpful for anger, emotion regulation, and steadying reactions in high-pressure moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

Confirm current session options before booking, since session formats can vary. Jodi has noted that chat and phone sessions suit her schedule as a parent, so ask about those possibilities if they would help you fit therapy into daily life. Online work can make it easier to schedule short check-ins, avoid travel time, or choose a quieter time of day, helping sessions fit into a busy routine.
