About Jody

Jody Yeh-Shinbrood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Dakota and Illinois with 18 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, family conflict, parenting struggles, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, and career or life changes.

Her approach is practical and straightforward. Sessions focus on identifying problems, setting clear goals, and practicing skills that make daily life easier. She uses methods that include cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, attachment-based thinking, client-centered listening, and motivational interviewing.

Jody has experience supporting caregivers and families of children with special needs, and she has worked in medical settings with people dealing with major health crises. In sessions she helps people talk through reactions to illness, loss, and high stress, and she supports practical problem solving for household and caregiving pressures.

She encourages clients to choose their own goals and to build on the strengths they already have. Treatment often combines short-term symptom-focused work and longer conversations about underlying patterns, depending on what a person needs. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to create clear next steps and manageable practice between sessions.

Sessions aim to be attentive and validating while focusing on concrete tools. Jody helps people name feelings, practice new behaviors, and make decisions that fit their lives. She accepts clients from outside the United States and works in English.

BHow sessions work

How Jody’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based ideas focus on how relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions can use those concepts to notice how past bonds affect present relationships and to practice new ways of relating in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks concerns into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In remote sessions this often means identifying patterns, testing small behavioral experiments between meetings, and reviewing results together. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify values and find internal reasons to change, which can be used to set practical, achievable steps when life feels stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past attempts, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans based on what helps most in real life. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking to know how appointments are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports continuing work through life changes or during medical challenges by keeping conversations consistent when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework so progress can happen outside the therapy hour.
