About Jodi
Jodi Weslow is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or major life changes. She supports those facing low self-esteem, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship trouble, and work-related stress. She also helps with ADHD, anger, eating issues, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is calm and collaborative. Jodi focuses on practical skills clients can use right away. She aims to help people feel understood and more emotionally steady as they work toward clearer goals.
Background and approach
Jodi blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral methods and solution-focused strategies. That means she pays close attention to each person’s experience, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings, and helps set small, achievable steps. She often connects emotional patterns with the body’s stress responses to build usable coping tools.
She has a straightforward style and keeps sessions focused on what matters now. People learn tools for daily life, such as managing anxiety, improving communication, or handling parenting pressures. Jodi tailors those tools to each person’s needs and stage of life.
Jodi practices in Virginia and holds a LCSW license. Sessions are offered in English and include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. If someone prefers short check-ins or longer conversations, she adapts the format to fit their routine.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of her. Online sessions let Jodi follow the client’s lead while offering steady support and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it works well for anxiety, depression, and stress that show up in daily routines. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps and goals so people can see progress quickly and build confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jodi will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor methods to fit. That collaborative planning may mix listening, skill practice, and short goal-setting between sessions so the work stays relevant to everyday life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat are good for brief check-ins or when people need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue steady progress without long commutes.
