More about Jodi

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LISW-CP, LICSW

Hi there, I am a licensed independent social worker with over 15 years of experience in the medical field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, and chronic health issues. Prior to working in the medical field, I worked in mental health clinics and helped patients manage and overcome life crises. I also specialize in helping people get connected with community resources for basic needs such as affordable housing, food, and health insurance.

My counseling style is warm, interactive, and solution-focused. I believe that listening well and meeting people where they are at emotionally, mentally, and in all aspects is key. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your own specific needs and what you would like to achieve.

It definitely takes courage and motivation to seek help and positive change in your life. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

My practice hours are 8:30am - 2pm Monday - Friday. I usually check my messages 2-3 times each week unless it is the weekend. I would then respond to you that following Monday.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Jodi and I partnered for over one year to focus on improving my quality of life, first through the context of a stressful and volatile career, eventually extrapolating this exploration to combat a negative mindset, anxiety, and dread. I couldn’t have moved through all this without her! When we began. I felt as though I had few tools in my toolbox. Now, my toolbox has many tools I use to help me in many different ways depending on the day and my mental health. It has been great to build a muscle in life that allows me to really think as out and understand my needs without guilt or shame. Jodi has always focused me on kindness and self-love, and has ideated with me through many large and small issues. I am thankful to her for her professionalism and empathy and highly recommend her!

Ms. Schwartz is an amazing therapist. I suffer from an acute and active eating disorder. While this is not her area of expertise, her training has given her the skills required for this kind of treatment. I like that she doesn't pretend to know it all. If she needs to get a better grasp on a specific ED symptom, etc, she asks questions, listens closely to my responses and incorporates the information provided into my treatment plan. I hope Jodi, will pursue additional training regarding Eating Disorders, because of her natural ability to treat this devastating mental illness.
