About Jody

Jody Yeh-Shinbrood is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience. She practices from North Dakota and brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strains, family conflict, and trauma-related concerns.

Jody focuses on helping clients identify strengths they already have. She offers a warm, respectful space to talk through difficult feelings and decisions. Sessions emphasize clear goals and practical steps rather than long, abstract talk.

Background and approach

Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered care and cognitive behavioral methods. That means she pays attention to how relationships shape feelings, listens closely to each person’s experience, and uses tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on dialectical behavior strategies and motivational interviewing when they fit the work.

In practice Jody helps people develop coping skills, solve problems, and improve communication. She supports parents dealing with blended families and caregivers under stress, and she has experience with medical and cancer-related family issues. Jody also works with concerns such as codependency, intimacy and commitment issues, and the fallout from separation and divorce.

Her style is collaborative. She helps clients set their own goals and choose steps toward them. Sessions aim to leave people with skills they can use outside therapy and a clearer sense of what matters to them.

Online support

Attachment-informed and skills-based therapy online

Jody uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships affect emotions and behavior. That approach helps people understand patterns in close relationships and work on connection and trust issues. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, respect, and working at each person’s pace to uncover what matters most to them.

She pairs those perspectives with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when the work calls for it. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical experiments to change reactions and behavior. Together these approaches give room for both feeling understood and learning concrete coping tools.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jody will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods as therapy progresses. Decisions are made together to match strategies to the client’s needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone can be a good option with lower bandwidth or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to touch base between sessions or for shorter, focused support. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and access a licensed professional from different locations.
