About Jodi
Jodi Weslow is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strains, relationship issues, ADHD, and related concerns like self-esteem and career stress. Her practical approach is aimed at people juggling everyday pressures at home and work.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions focus on clear, usable tools rather than abstract theory. Jodi uses ideas from cognitive behavioral approaches and client-centered methods to help people notice patterns and try small changes that feel doable.

Her work includes attention to family-of-origin issues, communication problems, adoption and foster care topics, caregiver stress, intellectual disability concerns, and social anxiety. She brings a steady, commonsense style that focuses on what can be acted on between sessions.
People who want practical steps and clear feedback may find this approach helpful. Jodi encourages gradual skill-building and regular check-ins about what is working. To begin, follow the site's matching and scheduling steps to set up an initial appointment.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Jodi uses client-centered methods that emphasize listening and practical problem solving. This approach focuses on understanding what matters most to the person and shaping sessions around those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and introduces specific strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns, which can be practiced between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, immediate steps to move toward practical goals rather than dwelling on problems.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with clients to choose strategies based on their goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Collaboration means checking in about progress and adjusting methods when needed so sessions stay useful.
Confirm the current session options before booking to learn which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, and caregiving by reducing travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or let people try approaches like CBT homework and brief skill practice between meetings. Ask about how sessions are structured when you complete the matching questionnaire so the plan fits your everyday life.
