About Jodi
Jodi Erion is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with eight years of clinical therapy experience and a longer history in mental health work. She practices in Tennessee and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addiction concerns, and parenting challenges. Her style is straightforward and compassionate.
She aims to treat people with respect and dignity. Jodi adapts sessions to each person’s needs. She uses tools from client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to the individual.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills. Mindfulness and elements of dialectical behavior therapy show up when emotions feel overwhelming. Sessions may include talking through a problem, practicing simple skills, and trying short exercises between meetings.
Jodi mentions using narrative therapy to help people make sense of their stories and solution-focused ideas to set small, achievable goals. She also notes incorporating biblical principles when that fits a person’s values. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs.
Jodi prefers chat and phone work at times because she balances therapy with motherhood. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and fees vary by location and therapist availability. People who want clear, practical steps and a collaborative approach may find her style helpful.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Jodi commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy as part of her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for overwhelming feelings and relationship stress.She also uses client-centered principles, which means sessions follow the concerns the person brings and emphasize respectful listening. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will decide together which methods fit the person’s goals and comfort level, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, ongoing support between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules and varied day-to-day needs.
