Jodi Schwartz, LICSW, LISW-CP

Jodi Schwartz is a licensed independent social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She brings two decades of experience in mental health and medical settings to support people facing trauma, grief, relationship concerns, caregiver strain, and aging and geriatric issues.

Her style is warm and interactive. She listens closely and meets people where they are emotionally and practically. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps people can use between meetings.

Jodi blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques. She draws on mindfulness practices to help calm difficult thoughts and to build small, manageable habits. Treatment plans are created together and adjusted as needs change.

Before working in medical settings, she worked in mental health clinics helping people through crises and connecting them to community resources. She routinely helps clients find supports for basic needs such as affordable housing, food, and health insurance when that is part of recovery.

Jodi holds an MA and practices as a LICSW and a LISW-CP in South Carolina. She emphasizes practical steps, everyday language, and gradual progress so people can feel steadier in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them name priorities to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical tools to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and support calmer thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. If something isn’t working, the plan is adjusted so the sessions stay useful and focused on what the client wants to achieve.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy day and fewer barriers to keeping regular meetings.
