About Jodi
LPC in Missouri with 12 years of experience, Jodi Fortner focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work. Jodi centers sessions on helping people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and on building practical coping skills.
Jodi explains ideas in plain language and prefers clear steps over jargon. She helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice alternatives. Sessions often include short exercises and goal-focused conversations to build skills that can be used between meetings.

For grief and big life changes she supports people in naming what they’ve lost and finding ways to move forward at their own pace. For young adults she addresses common transitions and self-love concerns alongside core mood or anxiety issues.
Her approach leans toward problem solving and skill building. People leave sessions with concrete tools to try and brief plans for the next week. Progress is tracked in simple ways so the work stays practical and focused.

How Jodi’s approaches translate to online work

CBT sessions often include short exercises and homework tasks that fit well into weekly life.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which centers on small, practical steps and immediate goals. This approach looks for what’s already working and builds on those strengths to create quick, achievable changes.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past abuse or traumatic events affect current emotions and behavior. This approach attends to those experiences while teaching skills to manage strong feelings and reduce reactivity.
