About Jodi
Jodi Schwartz is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a South Carolina Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, life transitions, and a range of other concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices from South Carolina. International clients are not accepted.
Her background includes long-term work in medical settings and earlier roles in mental health clinics. That mix means she is used to helping people who have health-related stress and those navigating personal crises. She also assists people in connecting with community resources for basic needs like housing, food, and health insurance.
Her style is direct and solution-focused. She listens, helps clarify goals, and uses practical steps to address problems. Conversations aim to identify patterns that fuel stress or anger and to test small changes that feel manageable.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep struggles going. Mindfulness practices are used at times to help people calm down and become more aware of reactions. Client-centered and solution-focused methods guide how sessions proceed, keeping the clients priorities central.
If someone wants to begin, they use the sites matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a cancellable subscription plan. Jodi typically checks messages a few times during the week and responds on weekdays.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In practice that means the therapist asks about concerns, prioritizes what matters most to the client, and shapes conversations around those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses exercises to test small changes in thinking and behavior. Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief attention and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity and support calmer responses to anger and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jodi treats approach selection as collaborative. She will talk through what feels useful, try techniques during sessions, and adjust plans based on how they fit the client's goals and preferences.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats. Before booking, confirm which formats are currently offered. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let people try techniques between appointments and return to session notes or exercises more easily.
