How Jodi’s Approaches Work Online

Jodi uses cognitive behavioral methods to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different responses. CBT is practical and goal-focused, and it can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills to change thinking and behavior.

She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills are useful when strong emotions get in the way of daily life or relationships. Her client-centered stance means sessions begin with listening to what matters most to the person and then shaping the plan around their goals.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will work together with the person to decide which methods fit best for the problem, pace, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for full sessions that mirror in-person meetings, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging allows short reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other commitments while keeping the focus on practical skills and progress.
