About Jodi

Jodi Colbert is an Illinois-licensed clinical social worker who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

With five years of clinical experience, she works with concerns that include attachment challenges, self-esteem difficulties, grief and loss, mood conditions, and life adjustments related to pregnancy, postpartum, and other transitions. Her approach is collaborative and respectful, centering the client's perspective and strengths as the foundation for change.

She blends cognitive behavioral tools with client-centered, narrative, existential, and mindfulness-based ideas to create tailored plans that address communication problems, codependency, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Jodi aims to meet each person where they are and to adapt therapy to their goals and values.

She frames the therapeutic relationship as a partnership that honors dignity and diversity while offering practical strategies and reflective space for healing and growth.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions



Jodi often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, mood shifts, and panic symptoms. She also draws on client-centered therapy, creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides session goals and where strengths are highlighted to foster resilience and self-understanding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she treats that choice as collaborative. Together the client and therapist explore goals, preferences, and what techniques feel most useful, adjusting methods over time so the work reflects each person’s needs and values.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for engaging in this collaborative work. Video calls allow for face-to-face connection, phone sessions provide an option when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life while preserving the therapeutic focus on skills, meaning-making, and personal growth.
