How Jodi Uses Practical Approaches Online
Jodi often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and for testing small behavior changes that improve daily life.
She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to help clients notice emotions and bodily sensations without judgment. Mindfulness can be useful for reducing reactivity, managing stress, and grounding after difficult memories or triggers.
Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to set goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That means trying short-term experiments and deciding together which tools to keep using.
