About Jodi

Jodi Walker is a licensed counselor who draws on cognitive behavioral therapy alongside complementary approaches to help people build practical skills for daily life.

Background and approach

With 8 years of clinical experience, she focuses on symptom management, coping strategies, and recovery work for concerns including depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and personality-related symptoms. Her practice emphasizes helping people develop tools to manage distress, reduce problematic behaviors, and improve emotional regulation.

She aims to foster an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and practice new ways of responding to life’s challenges. Jodi also works with issues such as grief, relationship and intimacy difficulties, self-esteem and body image concerns, parenting and blended family dynamics, and career-related stress.

Her additional focus areas include attachment issues, codependency, dissociation, and coping after separation or disaster. Based in Utah and working in English, Jodi integrates methods from ACT, DBT, attachment-based and client-centered traditions to tailor care to each person’s needs.

She supports clients through recovery, symptom management, and skill-building with an emphasis on collaboration and practical strategies.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Jodi uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete behavioral strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she draws on to help people clarify values, increase psychological flexibility, and respond differently to difficult emotions. Attachment-based techniques are used to explore relational patterns and strengthen emotional regulation and interpersonal connection.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to consider symptoms, goals, and personal preferences, and adapts methods over time so care feels useful and relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy with Jodi is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to support accessibility and scheduling flexibility. These formats allow clients to practice skills between sessions and maintain continuity of care when life or location makes in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can tailor session rhythm and tools to fit each person’s routine while focusing on practical skill-building and recovery work.
