About Jody
Jody Rubin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 33 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress or anxiety. She focuses on making sessions straightforward and useful so visitors can quickly see if this is the right fit. Many people come to her when life shifts feel too big to handle.
She helps with relationship strain, family conflict, low self-esteem, and finding purpose after a major change.
Background and approach
Jody also supports people facing obsessive thoughts, phobias, seasonal mood changes, and the challenges that come with autism spectrum experiences. Her work centers on building self-compassion and stronger communication. She listens closely and helps clients find practical tools to manage daily stress.
Jody emphasizes small, doable steps that add up over time. She also addresses caregiver stress, hoarding concerns, infidelity, jealousy, and intellectual disability-related issues. Sessions often include skills for coping, clearer ways to talk with others, and strategies to reduce unhelpful patterns like compulsions or avoidance.
Every plan is created together with the person in the room. Jody aims to help people recognize their strengths and use them to move forward. Her practice is warm, direct, and focused on helping clients feel more confident in daily life.
Evidence-based approaches and online options
Jody uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people reduce anxiety and manage stress. She emphasizes approaches that teach concrete skills for handling worry and changing unhelpful behaviors, such as methods that focus on identifying thought patterns and practicing small behavioral changes. These techniques are effective for issues like obsessive thoughts, phobias, and seasonal mood shifts and give clear steps people can practice between sessions.Another common element in her work is building self-compassion and improving communication. This involves exercises to increase self-kindness and role-based practice to try new ways of speaking in difficult conversations. These practices aim to reduce shame and improve relationships over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, comfort level, and day-to-day life. That includes adjusting methods as progress is made and priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter updates, ongoing check-ins, or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
