About Jodi
Jodi Cornelius is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, with 10 years of clinical experience based in Michigan. She works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, career challenges, burnout, and compassion fatigue. Her practice also includes support for people facing ADHD, intimacy issues, parenting stress, and concerns tied to identity and life transitions.
She often sees people who spend much of their time caring for others and have pushed their own needs aside. In sessions she helps people slow down, name what matters to them, and sort through conflicting feelings. Guilt and shame are listed areas she addresses when they come up in relationship, family, or personal struggle.
Her methods draw on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing. That means conversations focus on the client’s experience, practical ways to shift unhelpful thoughts or behaviors, and steps to build motivation for change. Work can include clarifying values, practicing new responses, and setting small manageable goals.
She describes her style as down-to-earth and practical. Sessions are intended to be a place to talk honestly and figure out what is getting in the way. New clients are invited to begin even if they do not have every answer about their goals yet.
Jodi provides care in English and is open to working with clients who live outside the United States. Prospective clients follow the site’s process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening to the person and following what matters most to them. In practice that means conversations start with the client’s concerns and the therapist mirrors and clarifies those priorities so goals become clearer.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical exercises or behavior experiments to shift how someone responds to shame, anxiety, or low mood.
Motivational interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find and strengthen the reasons they want to change. It’s useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps, and it pairs well with the other approaches to build momentum for small changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which combination of methods to try and adjust that plan over time.
Confirm the therapist’s current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also give options for people who live far from a local clinician.
