Meet Jodie Lybarger, MSW, CSW
Looking for a therapist in Salt Lake City who is warm, direct, and client-led? Jodie, CSW, works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, faith transitions, and life’s many turning points. She integrates movement, experiential therapy, parts work, ACT, and person-centered practices to help clients reconnect with their inner wisdom.

Jodie’s therapy sessions may include somatic noticing, creative exercises, or embodied practices—because she knows healing often lives beyond words alone. She brings a grounded presence and a clear, compassionate style, creating space where clients feel both supported and empowered to lead their own journey. With Jodie, therapy is about reclaiming resilience and stepping more fully into self.

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
