How sessions work
How Jodi uses approaches online
Jodi commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy online. Client-centered work means conversations that focus on the person's priorities and perspectives, helping them identify what matters most. CBT involves noticing thoughts and behaviors, testing unhelpful thinking, and practicing new responses to reduce anxiety and depression.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness exercises in sessions. DBT skills teach practical techniques for regulating intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. Mindfulness practices help people settle attention and reduce reactivity, which can be useful for stress, parenting strain, and relationship tension.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match your goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying CBT exercises for a few weeks, then adding DBT skills or narrative work as situations evolve.
Her profile indicates chat and phone sessions are the formats that currently fit her schedule. If session formats are important to you, confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy household, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone join sessions without traveling to an office.
