About Jodi
Jodi Schwartz is a licensed independent social worker with two decades of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, life changes, relationship strain, and money and financial issues. She offers a calm, practical presence for those feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
Her background includes long work in medical settings and earlier roles in mental health clinics. That mix means she is familiar with health-related stress and ongoing life challenges. She also helps people connect with community resources for basic needs like housing, food, and health insurance.
Jodi uses a warm, interactive style in sessions. She listens closely and meets people where they are emotionally and mentally. Conversations are tailored to what each person needs and wants to achieve.
Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and solution-focused strategies. She focuses on practical steps clients can try between meetings and on building skills for everyday life.
Seeking help can feel hard, and she aims to support and empower people through that process. Her practice hours are weekday mornings, and she checks messages a few times during the week to respond about scheduling and next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client's lead. It helps people who need a supportive space to talk through stress, identity questions, or emotional pain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors for anxiety, depression, and money-related stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as needed.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. Some people find short check-ins are useful between in-person visits, while others prefer regular longer conversations. Talk with the therapist about what format and schedule will fit your life and goals.
