About Jodi

Jodi Walker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She practices in Utah and works with adults on a range of problems including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and anger.

She helps people build practical coping strategies for intense emotions. That includes learning ways to manage symptoms linked to personality issues, substance use, and mood disorders. She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship or intimacy struggles, parenting strain, and career stress.

Her approach draws on therapies that focus on thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. Jodi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice values and take action despite difficult feelings.

Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods shape how she works with relationship and attachment concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are also part of her toolbox for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Sessions focus on clear techniques and real-life practice rather than jargon.

She asks people to take small, manageable steps and practices skills between meetings. The style is straightforward and practical - talking through current problems, trying specific tools, and adjusting what helps. To begin, people use the site matching process to schedule a first session and see which setup fits their life.

Approaches used in online sessions and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and committing to actions that matter, which can reduce the power of anger and resentment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and reduce reactive responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, current problems, and preferences. That process can involve trying a few techniques and adjusting what is most useful over time.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for quick check-ins when stress spikes. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can help with focus or convenience. The practical aim is to make skills practice and problem solving fit into everyday life while using therapeutic approaches that match the person's needs.
