About Jodi
Jodi Gregory is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Iowa. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and challenges around parenting. Her tone is warm and direct, aimed at parents who want practical tools and clearer communication at home.
She combines faith-informed perspectives with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people find steady ground after hard experiences. Sessions often focus on building self-esteem, managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, and improving day-to-day coping strategies.
Background and approach
Jodi also helps clients work through issues tied to adoption and foster care, abandonment, and family of origin concerns. Her work addresses life transitions and the strain that caregiving or chronic illness can create. She supports people facing cancer, chronic pain, or caregiver stress by helping them set boundaries and prioritize self-care.
Communication problems, control issues, codependency, and commitment concerns are other common topics in her practice. Jodi draws on trauma-informed principles to create a respectful, faith-aware setting for exploration. She uses practical techniques so clients leave sessions with clear next steps.
Over four years of practice she has developed an approach that balances emotional support with concrete skills training. People who contact her typically appreciate straightforward guidance and steady, calm presence during difficult moments. She invites prospective clients to consider what they most want to change and to begin with a brief matching process to see if her approach fits their needs.

Practical approaches for online parenting support
Jodi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on measurable skills and daily coping. One approach emphasizes practical coping strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress through simple routines and breathing or grounding exercises that can be used during parenting moments. Another approach centers on trauma-informed care, which helps people name difficult memories, understand reactions, and build small safety-focused steps for emotional regulation and better communication.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, daily challenges, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which techniques to prioritize and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents. Video calls support face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free option is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking homework, or touching base between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school runs, or caregiving schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
