Jodi Erion, LCSW - Therapist in Tennessee

About Jodi

Jodi Erion is a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of direct therapy experience and a longer history in the mental health field. She holds an LCSW in Oregon (OR LCSW L10380) and Tennessee (TN LCSW 8053) and practices from Tennessee. Jodi frames therapy around practical steps and clear goals.

She focuses on everyday problems such as stress, anxiety, low self-worth, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting, addiction, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Her style is down-to-earth and respectful. She uses simple language and listens first. Jodi aims to create a plan that fits each person rather than a one-size-fits-all program.

Sessions emphasize skills you can try between meetings and ways to notice what is working. Jodi draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and client-centered therapy among other methods. She also incorporates mindfulness and narrative techniques when they suit a person’s goals.

These tools are used to manage overwhelming feelings, challenge unhelpful thinking, and build more effective habits. Practical matters are considered alongside emotional work. Jodi can support people dealing with grief, parenting stresses, career pressure, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse, and many other life challenges listed in her profile.

She offers phone, video, live chat, and text-based options to fit different schedules. Her aim is steady progress over time. New clients begin by choosing a plan, completing a short questionnaire, and scheduling sessions based on availability.

Jodi works in English and does not work with international clients.

Therapeutic tools and online sessions that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows your lead, helps you clarify goals, and supports choices that feel right for you. This approach is useful when you need practical support and a respectful space to talk.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches simple techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, adds concrete skills for handling strong emotions and improving communication. It includes breathing and grounding strategies, plus ways to manage intense reactions in relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can shift over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, care for family needs, or continue support while traveling. For many people, remote sessions make it simpler to practice new skills between meetings and to maintain steady contact with a licensed professional.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
