About Jodi
Jodi Weslow is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of practice. She helps people navigate stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationships, self-esteem, grief, and life transitions. Her work also covers ADHD, compassion fatigue, and caregiver stress.
She sees these concerns from a practical, down-to-earth perspective. Her sessions are collaborative and supportive. Jodi focuses on helping people feel understood and more regulated as they work toward clearer goals.
She uses straightforward techniques people can use at home.
Background and approach
Her style emphasizes listening first, then trying small changes that fit daily life. Jodi draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas and a client-centered way of working. She also uses solution-focused methods to set short-term, manageable steps.
These approaches are mixed to match each person’s needs and stage of life. She pays attention to how emotions show up in the body. That means helping people recognize physical signs of stress and learn simple coping skills.
The goal is to build awareness and tools that reduce overwhelm and increase confidence. Jodi offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging from Virginia. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a person uses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and guides the pace and topics of sessions based on what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It’s useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress because it teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.
Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps and immediate goals. This approach is helpful when someone wants quick tools to manage parenting challenges, work stress, or transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits. Phone sessions can fit a short break or when video is not possible. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around parenting, work, and daily life.
