Jody Yeh-Shinbrood, LCSW

Jody Yeh-Shinbrood is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with licenses in North Dakota and Illinois and 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and codependency concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, anger, career change, and coping with life transitions.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She listens to what matters to each person and helps them name goals. Sessions use research-based methods to reduce symptoms and build everyday coping skills. The focus is on small, doable steps that fit into real life.

Jody draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape choices. She also uses client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns of thinking and behavior. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and motivational interviewing are used when they match a person’s needs.

She has worked in medical settings and with families of children who have special needs, so she is familiar with caregiving stress and medical crises. That background informs practical problem solving and support for tough life events.

People who come to her can expect a respectful, attentive conversation that focuses on what they want to change. She helps clients set goals, practice skills, and try different ways of handling difficult situations. To begin, readers should follow the site’s guided matching and scheduling steps.
