Jodi Gregory, LPC, LMHC

Jodi Gregory is a licensed counselor who offers compassionate, faith-informed support for people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. She holds LPC and Licensed Mental Health Counselor credentials and works with clients in Iowa. Her style is practical and straightforward, focused on helping people build self-worth and better communication skills.

Jodi aims to help people find usable coping strategies for stress and everyday challenges. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to teach tools for panic, low mood, and relationship strain. Sessions emphasize small, steady steps that fit into daily life rather than big, abstract promises.

Her work also addresses concerns related to parenting, adoption and foster care, blended family issues, and fatherhood challenges. She supports people managing chronic medical issues, caregiver stress, and the emotional strain of cancer or long-term illness. Conversations regularly cover family of origin topics, abandonment, codependency, and commitment and control issues.

Jodi brings four years of clinical experience to her practice. That experience informs practical problem solving for communication problems, feelings of emptiness, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) related concerns. She uses a trauma-informed lens and pays attention to cultural background when relevant.

People who meet with Jodi can expect a respectful, steady presence that focuses on concrete skills and personal values. She invites clients to work at a pace that feels right while helping them discover strengths they already have.

How evidence-based approaches can work online

Many of the evidence-based therapeutic techniques Jodi draws on focus on teaching skills people can practice between sessions. One common approach is skills training that breaks down anxiety and mood management into clear steps, such as breathing, grounding, and activity planning to reduce panic and low mood. Another is trauma-informed care that emphasizes safety, pacing, and slowly processing difficult memories while teaching coping tools to manage strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, and together they will try approaches that seem to fit. Adjustments are made as needed so work in sessions connects to everyday life.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which online options are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also let people continue care while managing chronic illness, caregiver duties, or work commitments without needing to rearrange their day.
