Jodi Cornelius

Jodi Cornelius is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing with over 10 years of experience. She is based in Michigan and works with adults facing anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, career challenges, burnout, and compassion fatigue. Jodi also focuses on issues like ADHD, parenting strain, and questions about life purpose.

She often works with people who spend much of their time caring for others and who have lost sight of their own needs. Sessions are straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what is causing distress and what might help in day-to-day life.

Jodi uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and center the client’s perspective. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot patterns of thinking that worsen stress or depression. Motivational Interviewing is part of her work when people are weighing change or setting new goals.

In sessions she helps people identify small, manageable steps rather than pushing for big leaps. She pays attention to relationships, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and common patterns like codependency and control issues. Topics such as guilt, shame, jealousy, isolation, and social anxiety are also addressed.

Many clients come with career uncertainty or questions about life purpose; Jodi helps people talk those issues through and consider practical next steps. Reaching out does not require having everything figured out first. The first session is used to understand concerns and map a path forward.

How Jodi uses practical therapies in online sessions

Jodi combines Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing in straightforward ways that fit online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client so they can clarify their own priorities. CBT helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more realistic ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are unsure about change by exploring ambivalence and building motivation for small steps.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Jodi will listen to your concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods might help most. Together you can try techniques, see what fits, and adjust the plan as needed rather than committing to a single method from the start.

The practical advantage of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life. Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or fit appointments around work and caregiving responsibilities. Many people find this helps make steady progress while managing everyday demands.
