How JoDee Uses Practical Approaches Online
JoDee commonly uses Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own motivation for change by exploring goals and ambivalence in a respectful way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to shift unhelpful patterns.
She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy when it helps people notice their thoughts and bodily reactions without judgment. These approaches are used to address problems like anxiety, stress, parenting struggles, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. JoDee will work with clients to identify goals and decide which methods fit best with their needs and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as the original biography does not list specific online formats. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support steady momentum between in-person commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt tools from Motivational Interviewing and CBT to an online setting to keep sessions focused and practical. -
