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 mental health field. She practices in Tennessee and works with people facing depression, anxiety, low self-worth, relationship strain, addiction, trauma, and life stressors.
Her style is practical and direct. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered methods, mindfulness, narrative techniques, and solution-focused approaches. She will discuss which methods fit a person's situation and preferences.
Jodi also notes that biblical principles can be included when that aligns with a person's beliefs. She describes working respectfully and with dignity. Sessions emphasize clear steps, skills practice, and talking through problems so people can try different ways of coping.
She has experience helping people manage grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, career stress, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and addiction. Additional focus areas reflected in her work include adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, blended family concerns, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, fertility and caregiving challenges, and forgiveness and shame issues.
Jodi balances clinical work with parenting a young child, and she notes that chat and phone sessions work best for her schedule. People considering work with her should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Online work with Jodi often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new responses through small experiments and homework. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and problem-solving. DBT emphasizes practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for anger, relationship strain, and emotion regulation.She also uses client-centered and mindfulness elements to slow down and clarify what matters most to a person. Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and preferences, try methods in session, and adjust the plan based on what works best for daily life.
The original profile notes that chat and phone sessions work well with her schedule, so confirm current session formats when you begin. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with her during the matching step about how to structure sessions so they fit your schedule and goals.
