About Jody
Jody Yeh-Shinbrood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 18 years of experience. She is based in North Dakota and holds LCSW credentials in North Dakota and Illinois. She helps adults facing anger, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and life changes.
Jody works in a straightforward, skills-focused way. She listens to how problems show up day to day and helps people identify practical steps to change how they respond. Sessions use research-based methods to reduce reactive patterns, improve communication, and rebuild trust in relationships.
Her approach includes motivational interviewing to clarify values and goals and focused techniques to address symptoms that get in the way of functioning. Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to examine thoughts and behaviors linked to anger and anxiety. Attachment-informed ideas help explore how past relationships shape current reactions.
Jody also draws on dialectical behavior ideas for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She has extensive experience supporting people whose lives include medical crises and caregiving stress, and she has worked with families of children with special needs. She helps clients sort priorities, set realistic goals, and practice new responses so change feels manageable.
Practical problem solving and brief solution-focused work are part of how she helps people gain momentum. Jody encourages clients to name their goals, try small changes, and build skills they can use after therapy ends.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Jody uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships shape reactions to stress and anger. This approach helps people notice patterns in how they relate and practice different ways of responding when relationships trigger strong feelings.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify the thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and anxiety active. CBT focuses on testing unhelpful beliefs and trying alternative actions so daily life feels more manageable. Motivational interviewing is used to clarify what matters most and to build small, doable steps toward those goals in a collaborative way.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jody will help you decide which methods fit your goals and preferences, and she adapts strategies as needs change. The process is collaborative and goal oriented, with practical skill building and problem solving.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life because it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins, and offer alternatives when bandwidth or camera use is limited. These practical benefits help people maintain consistency while they practice new ways of handling anger and stress.
