About Jodie

Jodie Tarver is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and life transitions.

With three years of counseling experience, Jodie adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small, achievable steps toward relief. She aims to make therapy feel collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Jodie has worked in different mental health settings and draws on methods supported by evidence. She listens first, then helps clients choose strategies that fit their situation. Expectations and goals are reviewed as therapy progresses so plans can change when needed.

Many people come for help with panic, ongoing worry, or the fallout from past trauma. Jodie offers a steady presence while clients learn skills to manage symptoms and respond differently to stress. She also supports people processing grief and big life changes.

Her style is straightforward and compassionate. Jodie encourages questions about therapy and next steps. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Jodie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in straightforward ways. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new ways of responding to anxiety and panic. This method focuses on noticing thoughts, trying small behavior changes, and tracking what helps over time.

Another approach emphasizes skills training for managing intense emotions and stress. It involves learning breathing and grounding exercises, and building routines that reduce overwhelm. These strategies can be practiced between sessions and adjusted as needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jodie treats therapy as a collaboration - she will help clients choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are reviewed and adapted as progress is made so the path forward stays useful and realistic.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking since this profile does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into busy schedules, save travel time, and make it easier to maintain continuity when life gets hectic. Talk with the therapist about practical needs so sessions can be arranged in a way that works for daily life.
