Jodi Schwartz, LICSW, LISW-CP

Jodi Schwartz is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and life changes. She helps with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, along with grief, trauma, and feelings of emptiness. Jodi also works with concerns like ADHD, compassion fatigue, career uncertainty, and jealousy.

Her style is warm and interactive. She listens closely and meets people where they are emotionally and practically. Sessions focus on small, doable steps and clear goals rather than long lectures.

Jodi blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means conversations are shaped by the client's needs, practical strategies are used to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, and sessions aim for specific, achievable changes.

She has a background in medical social work and earlier work in mental health clinics. That experience informs her ability to help people navigate health concerns, connect to community resources, and handle crises when they arise.

Jodi encourages people who are ready to make a change to take a first step. She will tailor the plan to each person’s goals and life situation, offering both practical guidance and emotional support along the way.

How her approaches work with online therapy

Jodi commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience so they feel heard and accepted. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with the client to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This collaborative process means the approach can shift as needs change.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it simpler to continue care during life transitions or when coordinating around work and caregiving responsibilities.
