About Jodi
Jodi Pallett is a licensed therapist in Maryland who focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem. She draws on 18 years of clinical experience to help people cope with life changes and work toward greater emotional balance.
Background and approach
She often supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting concerns, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Jodi also helps those facing loneliness, feelings of emptiness, and questions about life purpose.
Her work includes attention to aging and caregiver stress as well as hospice and end-of-life concerns. Jodi uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person’s experience at the center of sessions.
She creates a calm space to talk through painful feelings and to find practical ways to manage day-to-day stress. Sessions aim to build self-understanding and practical coping skills rather than relying on abstract techniques.
Her background includes an MD and professional family therapy credentials listed as LCMFT and LMFT. That combined experience informs an emphasis on listening, respect, and steady support through difficult moments.
In sessions people can expect straightforward conversation about goals and small, doable steps between meetings. Jodi helps clients clarify priorities, set boundaries, and strengthen self-compassion as they work toward clearer direction and more manageable days.
Client-centered care and online therapy options
Client-centered Therapy emphasizes understanding each person’s experience without judgment. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients name feelings and priorities. This approach can be helpful for mood disorders, grief, self-esteem issues, and life transitions where being heard matters.Jodi aims to work together with clients to identify which methods feel most helpful. She will discuss goals, try small steps, and adjust the approach based on how a person responds. Deciding on the right path is a shared process that evolves over time.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or text messaging suits quick reflections or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
