Jodi Schwartz, LICSW, LISW-CP

Jodi Schwartz is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship or family concerns. She also supports people dealing with work and career stress, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Jodi brings 20 years of experience in social work to her clinical practice in South Carolina.

She uses a warm, interactive style and focuses on practical progress. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. Jodi listens closely, then works with each person to create steps that feel doable in daily life.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral strategies and solution-focused methods. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, practice different responses, and try small experiments to see what works. Mindfulness techniques are used to strengthen present-moment awareness and calm.

Before private practice, Jodi spent many years in medical settings and mental health clinics. That background informs her practical focus on coping with chronic health issues and connecting people to community resources like housing and health services. Her LICSW and LISW-CP credentials are part of her social work qualifications.

Jodi aims to support steps toward clearer thinking and manageable change. If someone is ready to take action, she offers steady guidance, help with problem solving, and attention to the real-life barriers people face.

How Jodi's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It emphasizes empathy and working at the person's pace to identify goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical experiments and skills to change them. Mindfulness Therapy helps build present-moment awareness and simple techniques to reduce reactivity and relieve stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will recommend a path to try. This is collaborative - plans can shift if something does not feel helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into busy schedules, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice new skills in real-life settings between meetings. Ask about available session formats when you complete the intake so arrangements match your day-to-day routine.
