Jodi Cornelius

Jodi Cornelius is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, with ten years of experience helping adults manage anxiety, stress, depression, and low self-esteem. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people juggling caregiving, career demands, and relationship strain, including women's issues and LGBTQ concerns.

Jodi often works with people who spend much of their time caring for others and have lost sight of their own needs. She helps clients slow down, name what matters, and take small steps toward clearer priorities. Sessions emphasize listening, validation, and simple strategies that fit into busy lives.

Her style blends client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. That means conversations begin with the client’s goals and values, then move toward identifying unhelpful patterns and testing manageable changes. The work is collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort level.

Clients may bring concerns ranging from relationship and family tension to career stress, parenting struggles, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges. Jodi also supports people dealing with isolation, guilt, control issues, and questions of life purpose.

She aims to make therapy feel honest and practical rather than formal or intimidating. New clients are encouraged to start even if they don’t have a clear plan - the first step is often enough to begin making things feel more manageable.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on accepting, nonjudgmental listening and following the client’s priorities. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they most want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and tests small, practical changes to improve mood and functioning. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change by exploring their reasons and building motivation one step at a time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with clients to match methods to their goals, personality, and day-to-day needs. Together they will try strategies, check what works, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and keep therapy consistent during life changes. It also allows shorter check-ins when a full session is difficult and can reduce time away from caregiving or work duties. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises and goals so therapy fits into everyday routines.
