How Jodie’s Approaches Work Online

Jodie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT focuses on practical steps you can test between sessions, which can quickly show what helps reduce anxiety or low mood.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and clarifying personal values to guide action. ACT can be useful for stress, grief, and life changes when someone wants to move toward what matters despite difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Jodie talks with each person about goals and preferences and together chooses or blends methods that fit. She checks progress and adjusts plans based on what is helpful in real life.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and reminders possible between longer sessions. These options help people fit care into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
