About Jodi
Jodi describes therapy as a collaborative process. She aims to help clients feel understood and more regulated while they work toward their goals. Sessions focus on clear steps and doable tools rather than abstract theory.
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral methods with client-centered and solution-focused ideas. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes, while following what matters most to each person. She pays attention to how emotions show up in the body and teaches ways to notice and manage those reactions.
In the room she keeps things straightforward and nonjudgmental. Conversations move at the client’s pace, with an emphasis on building practical coping skills for daily life. Homework and experiments between sessions are offered when they fit the person’s routine.
Jodi works with concerns tied to adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, communication problems, family of origin issues, intellectual disability, social anxiety, and phobia. Her goal is to help people make steady, sustainable changes they can use outside of sessions.

How these approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the person. The therapist follows the client's pace and priorities to build insight and trust, which helps when sorting out strong emotions like anger or grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions affect each other. It teaches practical experiments and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and improve mood.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes short-term goals and concrete steps. It helps people identify what is already working and build on that progress with targeted exercises.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made along the way based on what works.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that these practical approaches transfer well to everyday routines.
