How Jodi’s Approaches Work Online

Jodi often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress by practicing new ways of thinking and acting.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, understanding a person's goals, and shaping sessions around what the person wants to accomplish. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, empathetic space to sort their priorities and values.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. Jodi will talk about goals and preferences, try methods that fit a person's life, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The work is collaborative and paced to what the person can manage.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversation and exercises that need face-to-face interaction. Phone calls can fit a break at work or times with lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, follow-up notes, or when writing helps explain thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and varied schedules.
