About Jodi

She works with concerns around parenting, family problems, trauma and abuse, and challenges like anger or low self-esteem. Her tone is practical and action-focused for people who want clear steps forward.
Jodi uses straightforward, goal-oriented methods in sessions. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people change unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and stay motivated.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify small, doable changes that improve daily life. Her background includes work with diverse issues such as bipolar disorder, eating concerns, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress. She also addresses adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, and family of origin concerns.
Jodi applies practical strategies for social anxiety, self-harm thoughts, and seasonal mood shifts. Sessions focus on what a person wants to achieve next rather than re-litigating every event from the past. Jodi pulls from solution-focused therapy to set clear goals and track progress week to week.
She blends that with mindfulness practices to reduce overwhelm and with motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change. Clients can expect respectful, direct conversations that center on manageable steps. Jodi aims to make progress feel realistic and relevant to daily routines.
She works from Idaho and provides services in English.
How Jodi Uses Practical Approaches Online
Jodi commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches simple tools to shift them, which helps with anxiety, depression, and panic. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional awareness, useful for stress, trauma reactions, and mood swings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily routines, and what feels doable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, so care fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text let people check in between appointments and fit brief exchanges into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep regular work on goals and practice new skills without long travel or schedule disruption.
