Jodi Erion, LCSW

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. Jodi aims to make room for hard conversations and steady progress in short, practical steps.

Jodi works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-worth, relationship struggles, addiction, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, and attention challenges such as ADHD. Her background includes work with adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, and medical-related concerns like cancer.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. She centers each session on what matters to the client and tailors the plan to real-life needs. Sessions often focus on skills practice, clearer thinking, and story work to make sense of difficult patterns.

Jodi uses several therapy approaches depending on the person and the problem. These include client-centered methods that follow the client's lead, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, dialectical behavior strategies for emotion regulation, mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness, and narrative work to reframe personal stories.

She offers chat and phone sessions as her preferred formats and asks people to confirm current session options before booking. To begin, select the continue button on this profile, complete the brief matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person's concerns and building sessions around what they say matters. It helps people feel heard and supported while working toward their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change patterns of thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers techniques for handling intense emotions and improving coping skills in everyday life.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to find methods that fit personal needs and daily routines.

The therapist's biography notes that chat and phone sessions are a good fit for her practice; confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a weeknight or lunch break, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and avoid travel time. It also supports continuing work across life changes by maintaining regular meetings wherever someone is located, subject to the therapist's stated client location policies.
