About Jodi

Jodi Walker is a licensed counselor who uses practical, hands-on approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and other life challenges. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC). Jodi works from Utah and speaks English.

She has eight years of clinical experience and focuses on clear, doable strategies rather than jargon. Her style aims to make sessions feel open and nonjudgmental.

Background and approach

She encourages honest conversation about difficult feelings and behaviors. Jodi emphasizes building coping skills for everyday life and creating steps that feel achievable. Jodi blends several well-established methods to match each person’s needs.

She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help with values-based action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking patterns, and Attachment-Based ideas to explore relationship dynamics. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when stress and emotion regulation are central concerns. Her background includes working with people managing addiction, trauma and abuse recovery, bipolar disorder symptoms, and mood or personality-related challenges.

She also supports those dealing with grief, parenting strains, relationship problems, and career or life transitions. In sessions clients can expect practical tools, skill practice, and collaborative planning. Jodi encourages small steps that build confidence.

She helps people notice what works, adjust strategies, and move toward clearer goals.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction despite difficult feelings. It is useful when someone wants to live by their values while managing anxiety or depression. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change mood and behavior. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, and can be helpful when relationship dynamics or parenting interactions are a central concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they will choose or combine methods that fit the situation and adjust them as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer remote options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions are an alternative when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful between sessions for brief check-ins and practice. These options make it easier to use therapy tools consistently and to keep progress moving forward.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
