Meet Jodie Lybarger, MSWi
Jodie is an advanced Master of Social Work intern completing her final year at the University of Kentucky. She brings a warm, empathetic, and playful approach to therapy, creating a safe and supportive space for participants to explore their paths to healing and growth. With a focus on supporting adult women, individuals navigating anxiety, depression, or faith transitions, Jodie is committed to helping participants feel empowered and resilient.

Specialties and Methods
Jodie offers a trauma-informed and eclectic therapeutic experience, blending techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). She also integrates mindfulness and somatic practices, believing strongly in the healing power of movement. She'll encourage you to connect with your body and embrace your mind-body connection, while helping you access deeper pathways to healing and resilience.

What Drives Her Work
Jodie believes therapy is not just about addressing the mind—it’s about engaging the whole person. She is passionate about helping you find growth, healing, and connection through movement and mindfulness. Her hope is that you will leave therapy feeling more in tune with yourself, grounded, and equipped to create lasting change in your life.

When She's Not in the Therapist Role
You can find her climbing, dancing, hiking, petting every dog she can find, or sharing obscure Lord of the Rings trivia (yes, she knows all about second breakfast). She’s also got a soft spot for baking and collecting tea sets—and would probably love to hear about your favorite recipe or adventure.

Why Hearten House
Jodie aligns with Hearten House’s mission of “reimagining mental health care” by combining creative, trauma-informed methods with a focus on the mind-body connection. She believes in offering therapy that integrates movement, spontaneity, and authenticity, helping you rediscover your own strength and resilience in new and empowering ways.
