About Jodie

Jodie Gardner is a licensed counselor with nine years of clinical experience. She holds LPCC and LPC credentials and practices from Texas. She focuses on helping people who are coping with addiction, trauma, anxiety, mood challenges, relationship struggles, and ADHD-related concerns.

She uses clear, practical conversations to help clients name what feels hard. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at finding useful steps that fit daily life. Jodie often blends approaches so people learn skills and also make sense of their patterns.

Background and approach

Her style is warm and direct. She encourages honest talk about difficult feelings without judgment. Together clients and Jodie map out small goals that build toward bigger change.

Jodie draws on therapies that teach coping skills and strengthen emotional understanding. She helps people practice new behaviors, manage stress, and improve relationships. She also supports those working through grief, career stress, or challenges related to chronic illness.

Practical tools and steady support are central to her work. She guides clients through skill-building exercises, values-based planning, and tracking progress between sessions. Her aim is to make therapy useful and manageable for busy lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by practicing different skills and testing new ways of responding to tough situations. It can help with mood issues, anxiety, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people build safer, more predictable ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and everyday life. Sessions may combine elements from different models so people learn practical tools while also addressing deeper patterns.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Jodie provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their schedule and comfort. Video calls let most people work face-to-face when needed, phone sessions can fit a break at work or use less bandwidth, and live chat or messaging suit brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other responsibilities.
