About Jodi
Jodi Warthen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage strong emotions and find practical steps forward. She focuses on issues like anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Parents looking for clear guidance around family and parenting concerns may find her straightforward approach helpful.
Jodi uses short-term, goal-oriented methods to help people get unstuck. She prefers solutions that can be tried between sessions and adjusted as needed.
Background and approach
Sessions often include learning simple tools for thinking differently, calming the body, and setting achievable goals. Her background includes work with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and people coping with major life changes. That experience shapes how she listens and how she helps clients build safety before tackling hard memories or behaviors.
Jodi also brings experience related to adoption and foster care, blended family issues, and veterans and armed forces issues. In practice she relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods. Those approaches aim to change unhelpful thinking, increase present-moment awareness, support motivation to try new behaviors, and set clear short-term goals.
She has three years of professional experience as an LCSW in Idaho. Sessions are offered in English and include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for them.

Evidence-based approaches for online anger and stress work
Jodi draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought that fuel anger and anxiety, and then try different ways of thinking and behaving to change outcomes. CBT is practical and often focuses on specific situations and skills to practice between sessions.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help people pause before responding. Mindfulness can be useful for stress, panic, and managing strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jodi will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and shifting focus when needed.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for full conversations and exercises, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, chat and text are handy for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between meetings.
