About Jodi
Jodi Carroll is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with 30 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps people can take when they feel stuck or unsure what comes next.
Jodi begins by getting to know each person and learning what matters to them. She describes therapy as a partnership and works together with clients to set realistic goals. Sessions involve talking through current problems and identifying patterns that keep people stuck.
Her background includes long experience with complex emotional issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, and family of origin concerns. She has also worked with people facing chronic pain, illness, and disability, and those managing addiction and dissociation. That range gives her a broad perspective on how life events affect mood and relationships.
In practical terms, Jodi helps people sort priorities, practice clearer communication, and develop coping strategies for stressful transitions. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms of depression and bipolar disorder while attending to relationship dynamics.
People who come to her often want straightforward feedback and concrete steps they can try between sessions. She asks a few questions at the start and then outlines small, achievable actions aimed at reducing overwhelm and opening up options for change.
How evidence-based approaches guide online sessions
Jodi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on symptoms and daily functioning. Cognitive behavioral strategies help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of reacting; these techniques are useful for depression, bipolar mood shifts, and anxiety. Skills-based approaches teach concrete tools for emotion regulation and communication, which can be helpful for relationship problems, attachment challenges, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first based on goals, current difficulties, and preferences. That means reviewing what has helped before, measuring progress, and adjusting methods as needed together.
