Jody Yeh-ShinbroodLCSW

Jody Yeh-Shinbrood is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing from North Dakota. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and pregnancy and childbirth concerns. Her style is warm and respectful and she focuses on helping people find practical ways to feel better day to day.

Jody believes clients already have strengths to draw on. She creates a calm space to talk through goals and figure out next steps. She listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people name emotions and needs so they can make clear choices.

Her approach blends several methods to match each person. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. She also draws on cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Motivational interviewing is part of how she supports people making big changes.

Jody has worked in medical settings and with families of children who have special needs, and she has 18 years of experience. That background informs how she supports people coping with major medical crises, caregiving strain, and complex family situations. She aims to help people regain a sense of control and improve daily functioning.

Sessions focus on clear goals, problem solving, and building skills that fit into everyday life. Jody encourages clients to set their own priorities and practices brief, targeted techniques when helpful. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and closeness. It helps people understand patterns in relationships and build more secure ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. It is often used for stress, depression, and coping with life changes. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to strengthen a person's own reasons for change and support commitment to new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, so therapy stays matched to needs.

Confirm the exact online session formats before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when helpful. They also let people keep continuity of care when relocating or when schedules change, while still using the same therapeutic methods described above.
