About Jodi

Jodi Carroll is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with 30 years of experience. She works with people facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes. She also supports concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, chronic illness, and substance use issues.

She begins by getting to know a person and what makes them different. Sessions focus on understanding current struggles and identifying practical steps to manage them. Jodi describes therapy as a partnership where the client and therapist work together toward clearer thinking and better daily functioning.

Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and patterns that interfere with relationships and mood. Jodi helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, practice new ways of handling stress, and strengthen communication skills. She also addresses the effects of trauma and long-term stress on relationships and self-image.

Across decades of practice she has supported a wide range of concerns from family of origin wounds to coping after disasters. Jodi draws on this breadth to tailor session pacing and focus to each person’s needs. Practical skills and small steps are emphasized so progress feels manageable.

Approaches used and how online sessions can help

Jodi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on mood and relationship difficulties. One common approach involves identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce depressive and anxious symptoms; this can help people manage daily tasks and emotional reactions. She also works with strategies that address the effects of trauma, helping people recognize triggers, reduce intense reactions, and develop safer ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client collaborate to decide which techniques fit current goals and preferences. That might mean trying a practical skill for a few sessions or shifting focus to trauma processing if that becomes more important.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during workday breaks or times when leaving home is difficult. Some formats are better for shorter check-ins and others for longer therapeutic work, so discuss what will fit your routine when you schedule the first appointment.
