Jodi Erion

Jodi Erion is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with eight years working directly as a mental health therapist and a longer history in the mental health field. She has practiced in Oregon and Tennessee and brings steady, down-to-earth support to people facing hard moments. Jodi aims to meet clients with respect, dignity, and compassion as they work toward change.

Jodi helps people coping with anxiety, depression, low self-worth, and life stressors. She also works with issues around relationships, addiction, grief, trauma and emotional abuse, and intimacy concerns. Other areas she addresses include parenting, career transitions, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and many practical life adjustments.

Her style blends Mindfulness Therapy with client-centered listening and evidence-informed tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Narrative and solution-focused approaches are also part of how she frames conversations. Treatment plans are tailored to each person’s needs and values, and spiritual or faith-based perspectives may be included when the client prefers.

Jodi notes that chat and phone sessions fit best with her current schedule as a parent of a toddler. Prospective clients should confirm current session options when they schedule. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and fees vary by location and therapist availability.

To begin, readers are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Jodi is available for work in Tennessee and conducts sessions in English.

How mindfulness and practical therapy translate online

This therapist combines Mindfulness Therapy with client-centered care and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people cope with emotional distress and daily challenges. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices that help reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, often useful for anxiety, stress, and anger. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and responding to what matters most to the person in the room, which supports self-exploration and building trust. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers clear steps for identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes to improve mood and functioning.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to understand goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust over time if something isn’t working.

Because session formats are noted as chat and phone working best with the therapist’s current schedule, prospective clients should confirm available options when they book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Discussing practical arrangements at the start helps match session length and timing to everyday life without promising a specific format until confirmed.
