About Jodi

Jodi Erion is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with eight years of experience as a mental health therapist and a longer history in the field. She practices in Tennessee and has supported people managing depression, anxiety, low self-worth, relationship difficulties, addictions, trauma, and various life stressors.

Background and approach

Jodi integrates evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) alongside dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, client-centered work, and narrative approaches to tailor care to each person. Her style centers on respect, dignity, and compassion, and she works collaboratively to build treatment plans that reflect a client's priorities and values.

Jodi is open to integrating faith-based perspectives when that aligns with a client's beliefs. Because of caregiving responsibilities at home, she primarily offers chat and phone sessions in addition to other online formats to accommodate schedules and practical needs.

Online Approaches That Focus on Skills and Insight

Jodi often combines cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and dialectical strategies to help people address patterns that cause distress. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Client-centered work emphasizes empathy and collaboration so a person feels heard while exploring goals and values. DBT contributes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a process and the therapist will work with clients to find what fits best. Sessions begin with conversations about goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities so treatment can be adjusted over time in a collaborative way rather than following a strict formula.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and caregiving responsibilities. These formats make it possible to continue therapeutic work from different locations and at times that suit the client, while allowing for a mix of real-time conversation and written check-ins depending on what is most helpful.
