Jodi Pallett, LCMFT, LMFT

Jodi Pallett is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She draws on 18 years of clinical experience to support people navigating life transitions, caregiving challenges, and shifts in purpose or identity. Jodi practices in Maryland and offers care in English.

Her work emphasizes a respectful, person-centered style. Sessions focus on listening, clarifying what matters most, and helping people find realistic next steps. Jodi helps clients name painful feelings like emptiness, shame, or loneliness and build practical coping strategies for day-to-day life.

She pays particular attention to issues that come up during later life, including aging and geriatric concerns and hospice or end-of-life counseling. Jodi also assists people dealing with family of origin issues, caregiver stress, and changes in family roles. Career and workplace stress are common topics she addresses as well.

Jodi uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a collaborative, nonjudgmental space. That approach centers the person’s experience and supports self-directed change. Over time, clients work toward clearer priorities, improved self-regard, and steadier mood management.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Fees vary by location and availability, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How client-centered work translates to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and following their priorities. In this approach the therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps clients name feelings and decide on next steps. It can be helpful for concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, caregiver stress, and life transitions.

When working online, the same collaborative spirit applies. The therapist and client decide together which methods best match the client's goals and preferences. That conversation may include how often to meet, what to focus on, and small practical exercises to try between sessions.

This profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm available session options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit care into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, make it easier to schedule sessions around work, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. The therapist will work with each person to shape sessions that fit their routine and goals.
