About Jodi

Jodi Schwartz is a licensed social worker with two decades of clinical experience who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on practical strategies to address problems such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, career and financial worries, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and issues tied to family of origin and communication. Jodi also supports clients facing identity-related concerns including LGBT matters and commitment or intimacy struggles.

Her style is warm, interactive, and focused on solutions, blending client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness when helpful. Jodi emphasizes collaboration, tailoring conversations and action plans to each person’s goals and circumstances while assisting with connections to community resources like housing, food, and health insurance when needed.

She holds MA LICSW 128373 and SC LISW-CP 8890 and practices from South Carolina, offering a pragmatic, empathetic approach that values small, achievable steps toward meaningful change.

Practical Approaches and Online Support

Jodi integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered methods to create clear, collaborative online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and replacing unhelpful habits with practical strategies, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and tailoring the conversation to each person’s experience, helping clients feel understood while defining their own goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jodi works together with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, preferences, and objectives. She adapts plans over time based on progress and feedback, maintaining a collaborative stance so clients have an active role in shaping the work.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow people to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care when travel or mobility is a concern, and pick the format that best supports their comfort and consistency in making progress.
