Jodi Walker is an LPC, LCPC with eight years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and self esteem challenges. She focuses on practical skills for coping, emotion management, and recovery from addiction and trauma. Her approach aims to make therapy feel direct and understandable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
She works with common mood and behavior concerns like bipolar symptoms, grief, anger, and compulsive eating. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and the strain of parenting. Jodi includes work on attachment and abandonment concerns when those come up in sessions.
In sessions she prioritizes a nonjudgmental atmosphere where people can talk through their thoughts and feelings. She uses a mix of methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based perspectives, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. The focus is on learning concrete strategies that can be used between appointments.
Her experience includes work on complex presentations such as co-morbidity, dissociation, and personality-related patterns. She has supported people through major life changes, divorce and separation, and recovery from trauma and abuse. Jodi aims to help clients set realistic goals and practice new ways of coping.
Jodi is based in Utah and conducts sessions in English. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and to schedule according to her availability. Sessions are provided through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How these approaches work for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unwanted thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and self esteem struggles because it focuses on clear goals and everyday choices.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by breaking problems into specific steps and practicing new responses.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation strategies. These tools are helpful when strong feelings or impulsive behaviors get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals, preferences, and the specific challenges they bring to sessions.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins or sessions that fit a work break. It can also let people use video or phone options depending on bandwidth or comfort with being on camera.
