About Jodi

Jodi Walker is a licensed counselor who uses practical therapy to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and trauma. She brings eight years of clinical experience and aims to make the first step easier for anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

Background and approach

She focuses on building coping skills for daily life. That includes strategies for mood management, addiction recovery, and handling the ups and downs of bipolar symptoms.

She also works with concerns such as grief, intimacy issues, eating struggles, and problems with self-esteem. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented.

Jodi listens first, then helps clients try tools that fit their routines. She draws on approaches like the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape practical steps clients can use outside sessions.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration. Jodi helps people set realistic goals, track small progress, and adjust plans when life gets messy.

She aims to reduce shame and increase usable skills for handling conflict, communication problems, and stress. Jodi is licensed as an LPC and LCPC and practices in Utah.

She offers several online session formats, including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging, so therapy can fit different schedules and needs.

Online approaches that fit your daily life

Jodi uses a mix of approaches that translate well to online care. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and reducing conflict through clear, teachable skills that people can practice between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to small actions that align with their values and life goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people build more supported ways of connecting and responding to stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful and doable in everyday life.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful when visual cues and a longer conversation are helpful. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when scheduling needs to be more flexible. These options aim to make regular care easier to fit into work, parenting, and other commitments.
