How Jodi’s Approaches Work Online
Jodi uses a mix of approaches that translate well to online formats. Existential therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and values; sessions may involve talking through life direction, responsibility, and what matters most. Client-centered therapy centers on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and can access their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jodi collaborates with each person to decide whether existential questions, skills-based CBT, or a client-centered way of exploring stories will best meet current goals. She adapts methods over time based on what helps the person make progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, written reflection, or ongoing notes between sessions. These options make it easier to match session style to your routine and communication preferences while keeping therapy focused on clear goals and workable steps.
