About Jodi
Jodi Schwartz is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) based in South Carolina with 20 years of experience. She works with concerns common in early adulthood such as anxiety, stress, career questions, self-esteem, relationship strain, grief, and coping with life changes. Jodi also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, trauma, chronic health challenges, and issues related to LGBT identity.
Her background includes long work in medical settings and earlier roles in mental health clinics. That mix means she understands both medical complications and everyday mental health struggles. She has helped people manage depression, chronic illness, and acute life crises, and connects clients with community resources for needs like housing and health insurance.
In sessions she focuses on clear problem-solving and practical skills. Jodi uses client-centered conversation alongside cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help manage stress and racing thoughts.
People meet to set short-term goals and work through immediate problems while building skills for longer-term change. Jodi adapts the pace and direction of sessions to what a person hopes to achieve and what fits their life.
Her office hours have historically been weekday mornings, and she typically checks messages a few times during the week. For the first step, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to discuss goals and next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings. It helps people feel heard while they figure out priorities and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches simple skills for managing anxiety, mood, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy uses brief practices to reduce rumination and improve focus during busy days.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will review goals, try techniques, and adjust as they learn what helps. Sessions can blend methods so practical strategies are introduced quickly and refined over time.
The practical benefits of online work often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around school, work, or medical appointments. When planning, confirm which session formats are offered for this clinician, since the biography did not specify formats. Online arrangements can make short check-ins or regular weekly sessions simpler to arrange and help integrate skills between meetings.
