About Jodie

Jodie Flagle is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Indiana. She has ten years of clinical experience and a calm, direct style that many parents find approachable. Jodie focuses on practical steps people can use at home and in daily life.

She strives to help adults regain a sense of balance when stress or relationship strain feels overwhelming. Jodie is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, which she uses when trauma or painful memories are part of the picture.

Background and approach

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices are included when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed. Her sessions tend to be interactive and warm.

Jodie aims to listen first, then work with each person to set clear, achievable goals. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on strengths and small, steady changes. Across ten years of practice she has supported people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, intimacy and relationship problems, and parenting pressures.

Additional areas she addresses include family of origin issues, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care topics, and caregiving stress. Jodie offers multiple online formats so people can pick what fits their schedule. She encourages a collaborative process to decide which therapies and session styles match a person’s needs and goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

Jodie frequently uses EMDR and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working with people online. EMDR focuses on reducing the emotional charge of painful memories through a step-by-step process, and it can be helpful when trauma or past losses affect current family life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into their parts - thoughts, feelings, and actions - and teaches concrete techniques to shift unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jodie treats therapy as a collaboration and will help determine whether EMDR, CBT, or a combination fits a person’s needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice is guided by the situation and what the client hopes to change, with adjustments along the way as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats allow scheduling around busy family routines and provide options for people who prefer brief check-ins or longer conversations. The variety of formats also makes it easier to continue work through life transitions and practical challenges.

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.
