About Jodi
Jodi Weslow is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with two decades of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, grief, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She brings practical strategies to work on issues such as self-esteem, anger, career concerns, eating challenges, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, alongside additional focus areas like adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, family problems, communication difficulties, intellectual disability, and social anxiety. Her approach is collaborative and strengths-oriented, blending client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused tools.
Jodi emphasizes helping clients increase self-awareness and build concrete coping skills that can be used day to day, often exploring how emotions connect with physical states to support better regulation. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs, goals, and stage of life, with attention to practical, realistic strategies rather than abstract theory.
In therapy she aims to offer a calm, nonjudgmental environment where clients can slow down, make sense of their experience, and practice new ways of responding. Her style is grounded in collaboration and guided problem solving, with an eye toward helping clients develop clarity, resilience, and confidence over time.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Jodi integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered techniques in an online setting to help clients identify unhelpful patterns and develop manageable strategies. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with coping; it emphasizes skills and experiments that can be practiced between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s perspective guides the work and the therapist offers empathy and reflection to foster insight and self-direction.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, adapting CBT tools or client-centered support as appropriate and combining solution-focused steps when helpful. Together they choose the methods that fit the person’s life and desired outcomes rather than imposing a single model.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from Virginia without travel, support skill practice in real time, and allow clients to choose the communication style that best supports their progress.
