Background and approach

Jodie encourages small, practical steps that build clearer routines and calmer days. Her style blends skills-based work with listening. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and from acceptance-based approaches to help clients live by their values.

She also draws on attachment-informed ideas when relationship patterns come up. Jodie has experience supporting people through addiction recovery and the emotional fallout of loss. She also helps with parenting stress, career strain, body image concerns, and challenges tied to caregiving and chronic illness.

Her approach is respectful of diverse identities, including LGBT concerns. In sessions clients can expect both short-term coping strategies and attention to longer-term goals. Jodie works with people on practical routines, emotion regulation skills, and clearer communication.

She frames therapy as a shared process and helps clients track progress over time.

Approach-focused care available online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and helping clients move toward meaningful goals rather than getting stuck in avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress, which can help with mood, sleep, and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can help when intimacy, trust, or relationship reactions cause pain.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they’ll try methods that fit the issue and adjust the plan if something isn’t working as hoped.

Online formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick reflections, between-session check-ins, or people who communicate better in writing. These options make it easier to keep consistent appointments and to use therapy tools in everyday moments.
