About Jodie
Jodie Gardner is a licensed professional counselor with nine years of clinical experience. She holds LPCC and LPC credentials and practices in Texas. Jodie focuses on helping people facing addiction, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and big life changes.
Her work aims to make talking about hard things feel straightforward. She creates a calm setting where people can name feelings and try new ways of coping without judgment. Sessions include practical skills and conversations about values, relationships, and day-to-day routines.
How Jodie works
Jodie uses a mix of approaches to meet each person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop healthier habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values.
She also pays attention to attachment-related patterns that show up in relationships and intimacy. That focus helps when people struggle with connection, abandonment worries, or boundaries. Dialectical strategies and client-centered listening are used when emotions feel intense or overwhelming.
People come for help with sleep, eating, parenting strain, work stress, bipolar or mood concerns, and sexual or identity topics including LGBT issues and kink-related matters. Jodie supports caregivers, those facing chronic illness, and people coping with adoption or blended family stress.
Starting is a simple process: pick the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that fits. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through a mix of video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

Online support options
How Jodie Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce distress and improve routines like sleep and activity. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating challenges. Attachment-Based therapy looks at how early connection patterns affect current relationships and intimacy concerns; it helps people understand fears of abandonment, boundary issues, and how they relate to others.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time rather than committing to one method from the start.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues and face-to-face conversation matter. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to schedule around daily life.
