About Jodie
Jodie Gardner is a licensed counselor who brings nine years of clinical experience to her work. She holds LPCC and LPC credentials and practices from Texas. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters most to them.
Her background includes supporting people dealing with addiction and substance concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. She also helps address mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and common struggles like anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
Relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, and career worries are also within her focus. Jodie uses several therapy approaches to match someone’s needs. She often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape present relationships.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take committed steps, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions are conversational and practical. Clients can expect a mix of listening, reflective feedback, and simple exercises to try between sessions.
Jodie pays attention to how emotions show up in relationships and daily routines, and she helps people build tools for handling stress, cravings, or strong feelings. People who want an empathic, goal-oriented counselor may find her approach helpful. She encourages small changes that fit real life and works collaboratively to shape therapy goals.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connection patterns; online sessions can unpack those patterns by discussing relationship stories and practicing new ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps; it often uses short exercises and values-based goals that adapt well to remote check-ins. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through brief skills practice and homework assignments that suit video or text formats.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and daily life. She will talk through options and adjust the plan as therapy progresses so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging support brief check-ins or steady support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit consistent work into a busy schedule and to practice skills in real time while living everyday life.
