About Jodi
Jodi Erion is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee. She brings eight years of direct therapy experience and a longer history in the mental health field.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. She listens first, and then helps people set practical goals. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person's needs.
Background and approach
She emphasizes dignity and empathy in the work. Jodi uses several evidence-informed approaches to help people change how they think and act. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns.
Dialectical behavior strategies are used to teach emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings. Mindfulness and client-centered methods help people notice what matters and build on their own strengths. Narrative therapy is used when shifting the stories people tell about themselves can open new options.
Together these approaches can be applied to concerns such as trauma, parenting strain, body image, caregiving stress, ADHD, and career-related change. Jodi offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She aims to make therapy fit busy lives and to create plans people can use between sessions.
New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on a person's strengths to set meaningful goals, making it useful for anxiety, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by practicing new habits between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication, which is helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made. Clients can expect to try strategies in session and bring them into everyday life with coach-like guidance.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face work and demonstration of skills. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or mobility is an issue. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, homework reviews, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain momentum between appointments.
