About Jodi
Jodi Erion is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with eight years as a mental health therapist and a longer history in the field. She has practiced in Oregon and Tennessee and brings steady, practical care to people facing emotional challenges. Jodi aims to treat people with respect, dignity, and compassion while helping them find more stability in daily life.
Her work often focuses on common struggles like depression, anxiety, low self-worth, relationship strain, addiction, and stress from life changes. She has experience supporting survivors of trauma and emotional abuse. Codependency is also listed among her areas of focus.
Jodi combines several therapy styles when planning care. She uses client-centered methods to listen and prioritize each person’s goals. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy for skills and problem solving.
Mindfulness and narrative approaches are part of how she helps people reframe difficult experiences and notice unhelpful patterns. She says treatment is customized to each person’s needs and values, and she will include faith-based ideas if that fits the person’s beliefs.
Practical constraints shape how she schedules sessions. As a mother with a toddler, chat and phone sessions work best for her schedule, so confirm current session options when you choose a time. To begin, use the site’s Start Therapy button and follow the matching steps.
How these approaches look in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. In practice that means the therapist asks about goals and priorities, then shapes sessions around what the person wants to change or understand. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be useful for intense emotions and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will suggest methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats depend on the therapist’s schedule. Jodi notes that chat and phone sessions work best for her when balancing care and parenting, so ask about those choices when you match. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use a break at work or write in between activities.
