More about Jodi

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMSW

Hello and I’m so glad you are seeking support with your life. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker in Michigan, a Board Certified Diplomat and Certified Addictions Counselor, I have been in human service for over 20 years. I have worked with children age 3 to seniors over 100 years old. I've worked with individuals with a history of abuse/neglect, addiction, anxiety, chronic illness, depression, domestic violence, grief and loss and those spiritually seeking. My therapeutic expertise includes trauma informed care, cognitive behavioral and solution focused interventions, and motivational interviewing. All interventions stem from a person-centered holistic approach. My professional experience ranges from case management in community mental health, delinquency and youth residential facilities, Home Health Care and Hospice, starting numerous outpatient substance abuse programs, nonprofit executive leadership, business consulting and life/spiritual coaching.

I believe in the celebration and acceptance of every person. We examine all aspects of a person’s life and help find what intersects. The overarching goal is balanced living and having tools at our disposal in order to become skillful at creating self-defined balance for ourselves whenever we face life challenges that take us off center. I use all that I have learned to help those who choose to receive it.

Personally, I enjoy cooking, traveling, and adventure experiences like zip lining and skydiving and most importantly helping others find mental, physical and spiritual health. It would be an honor to assist you along your life’s journey.

I wish you peace and fulfillment!

About online counseling

Affordable.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I have heard that it takes several sessions to get comfortable with a health care professional, and that was not the case with Jodi! We were laughing, and I was able to open up within our first meeting. She gives me encouragement in all aspects of my life, with actionable suggestions that really have an impact. I truly enjoy our weekly appointments and check ins!

I absolutely LOVE my counsellor she is AMAZING!! From day 1 she made me feel comfortable its almost like talking to one of mt girl friends over a glass of wine venting about life but getting great advise in return. I can imagine not being able to talk to her now. I've grown so much since counseling with her not only as a women but in my career. I'd recommend her to anyone no questions asked!!!

Great therapist.

Jodi clearly has plenty of experience counseling other people with similar concerns as me and I feel understood when I talk about a variety of areas in my life. I feel like I have space to talk freely but also receive deeper insight, suggestions and tools to move forward in my life with less anxiety.

Jodi Luster is great! This is my first time ever doing anything like this and from day 1 she has made me feel comfortable and safe. Talking with her is like sitting in your living room with a close friend sharing. She helps me realize things about my self in which I never thought of. I can tell she really loves what she does and cares for the people she works with. I truly appreciate her.
