Background and approach
Solution-focused work targets clear, manageable goals. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify what they want and gather energy to make changes. JoDee has worked in schools and behavioral health settings in Illinois, Iowa, and Washington.
That background means she understands family, school, and community pressures. She also has experience supporting people facing grief, trauma, workplace stress, and caregiver strain. Her approach recognizes the role of larger social forces such as sexism, racism, heterosexism, and classism in people’s lives.
She aims to listen with respect and tailor conversations and plans to each person’s situation. JoDee emphasizes collaboration and practical steps that fit daily life. People meet with her to talk through parenting concerns, self-esteem issues, social anxiety, relationship stress, or burnout.
She supports clients who want straightforward tools and a clear plan for coping and moving forward.
Using focused approaches in online therapy
JoDee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that feed anxiety or low mood. CBT sessions often include concrete exercises and short homework tasks to practice between meetings.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and build calm. Motivational interviewing helps people weigh options and find personal reasons to change, which can be useful for parenting goals, self-care, or breaking difficult habits.
Choosing the best approach is something JoDee does together with each person. She listens to your goals, tries methods that fit your style, and adjusts the plan as you go so the work stays meaningful and doable.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video is good for deeper conversations, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options allow people to keep momentum and practice new skills in everyday life.
