01About Jodie
Jodie Gardner is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and holds LPCC credentials in California. She brings nine years of clinical work to each session and focuses on helping people move through addiction, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. She aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk about what matters most.
She uses straightforward methods to help clients manage anxiety, depression, bipolar mood shifts, and stress.
Background and approach
Conversations often include practical coping skills for sleep, eating, and anger, and strategies to reduce the toll of compassion fatigue and caregiver stress. Clients who want to work on relationships, intimacy-related concerns, or career stress find direct, action-focused support. Jodie also helps people facing identity and attachment questions, including issues related to LGBT identity, adoption and foster care, abandonment, and attachment wounds.
She has experience with neurodiversity topics such as autism and Asperger Syndrome and supports people navigating blended family dynamics and body image concerns. Her clinical approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive techniques, attachment work, client-centered listening, and skills drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That mix lets sessions shift between exploring feelings and practicing tools that make day-to-day life easier.
Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Jodie notes that therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location and therapist availability.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions toward a meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try practical experiments to change responses and behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, sleep problems, mood concerns, and coping with stress.
Attachment-Based Therapy centers on understanding how early relationships shape current connections and emotional patterns. This work can help with intimacy issues, attachment wounds, adoption and foster care concerns, and relationship stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and daily life. Sessions may shift over time as needs change and as practical skills are practiced between meetings.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and seeing nonverbal cues, phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or use less bandwidth, and messaging lets someone check in between sessions or handle brief coaching-style interactions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or health constraints.
