About Jodi
Jodi Erion is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years as a mental health therapist and longer experience in the mental health field. She practices in Tennessee and helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and life changes.
Her background includes work with people who have experienced trauma and emotional abuse. She has also supported those facing grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting strains, career transitions, and challenges tied to ADHD and bipolar disorder. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, body image, caregiving stress, and substance-related problems.
Jodi mixes straightforward therapies that focus on present problems and skills. She uses client-centered work to listen and build on strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change thought and behavior patterns that feed anger or anxiety.
She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness to help manage intense emotions. Narrative therapy is used to reframe stories people tell about themselves. Jodi can integrate faith-based ideas when that fits a person’s beliefs.
Practicalities matter to her. As a parent of a toddler, she notes chat and phone sessions tend to suit her schedule. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and decide whether those options match their needs.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Jodi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that fuel anger and anxiety; CBT is practical and often focuses on small exercises between sessions. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective interpersonal strategies that can reduce reactive anger.Client-centered work is part of her approach as well, which means sessions begin by listening to what matters most and then shaping sessions around those goals. Deciding which combination of methods to use is collaborative - she and the client check what helps, adjust approaches, and set specific aims together.
Her biography notes chat and phone sessions have fit her schedule in the past, but readers should confirm current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid video when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits let people try therapy without rearranging as much of their day.
