About Jodi
Jodi Weslow is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, self-esteem, depression, grief, and family concerns including family of origin issues.
She uses a collaborative, practical approach in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small, usable steps to feel more steady. She often links emotions to bodily reactions to help people notice patterns and respond differently.
Her work draws mainly from cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered principles, with solution-focused tools to set clear short-term goals. That means sessions can include looking at thoughts and behaviors, practicing new ways of responding, and trying brief strategies to reduce distress.
Many people come for help with parenting strain, caregiving stress, adoption and foster care questions, or to untangle long-standing family patterns. She also supports issues such as ADHD, social anxiety, eating concerns, anger, and career stress by teaching coping skills and problem-solving steps.
In sessions she aims for straightforward conversation and concrete tools you can use between meetings. The emphasis is on manageable changes, clearer communication, and building skills that fit everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches used and how online sessions work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps people clarify their own goals and feel understood while they consider changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact; it provides practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting short-term goals and building small steps that lead to measurable change.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will help figure out which approaches fit the person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust tactics as those needs evolve. This is a collaborative process with regular check-ins about what is or isn’t helping.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support steady access to tools learned in sessions and help maintain momentum between meetings.
