01About Jodi
Jodi Fortner is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people understand how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She guides clients toward clearer thinking and steadier emotions so daily challenges feel more manageable. Jodi uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thinking patterns.
She also draws from solution-focused methods to set small, reachable goals and track progress. When past hurts are in the way, she brings trauma-focused techniques to help people process those experiences safely.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Expect clear steps you can try between meetings, like small behavior changes and thought exercises. Jodi explains techniques in simple language and checks in on what helps most.
Her twelve years working as a counselor in Missouri have shaped a calm, steady approach. She often works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, and big life changes. She also focuses on self-love and issues common in young adults.
Jodi offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. People start by answering a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their timing. The subscription model can be canceled at any time.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Jodi uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress because it breaks problems into specific thinking and behavior patterns to practice changing.She also draws on solution-focused therapy, which concentrates on small, achievable goals and building on what already works. That method helps people make steady progress when they want fast, practical changes. When earlier painful experiences affect current life, trauma-focused work helps process those memories and reduce their emotional hold.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan together based on what proves helpful. Clients have a say in pace and focus throughout the process.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily rhythms.
