About Jodi
Jodi Schwartz is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life changes. She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help people when they feel stuck or overwhelmed. Jodi brings two decades of experience and a calm, supportive presence to each session.
Her background includes long work in medical and mental health settings. That experience shaped her focus on depression, chronic health concerns, grief, and caregiver stress.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing career strain, relationship difficulties, and questions about identity or purpose. Jodi’s style is warm and interactive. She listens closely, meets clients where they are, and works with what matters most to them.
Sessions focus on clear goals and steps that feel doable in daily life. She combines client-centered approaches with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques. That means conversations center on the person’s priorities while also practicing skills to change unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
Mindfulness skills are offered when helpful for anxiety, anger, or coping with pain. People can expect help connecting to community resources when practical needs arise, such as housing or health-related supports. Jodi uses video, phone, chat, or text formats so people can choose what fits their routine and comfort.
With two decades of experience as a LICSW and an LISW-CP, she practices from South Carolina and works collaboratively to set goals and track progress.

How These Approaches Work Online
Jodi uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral ideas to guide online sessions. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding each person’s experience, and shaping sessions around their goals. It helps when someone wants an empathetic space to sort feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, anger, and low mood.Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try out techniques, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to emotional needs, daily routines, and real-world problems rather than imposing a single method.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when schedules and bandwidth allow. Phone sessions can be easier on slow internet and fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing support between meetings, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using approaches that aim to change thoughts, build skills, and support coping.
