Are you tired of carrying the weight of anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, or self-doubt on your own? Life can be overwhelming, especially when you're trying to meet everyone's expectations while struggling to meet your own. Therapy offers a space where you can slow down, be heard, and gain clarity without judgment. You don't need to have all the answers before reaching out. Together, we'll identify what's holding you back, build on your strengths, and create meaningful change so you can feel more confident, balanced, and in control of your life.

Jody Giacopuzzi

Jody Giacopuzzi

Therapist

Virtual • California


I provide online therapy for individuals facing life transitions, relationship struggles, grief, stress, and the challenges that naturally arise throughout life. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and down-to-earth, helping clients better understand patterns, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful change in a space where they feel safe, heard, and respected.

I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from San Diego State University and bring more than 40 years of experience working with teens, adults, and older adults in a variety of settings, including psychiatric care, acute care hospitals, outpatient clinics, home health, skilled nursing facilities and private clinical practice. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the resilience people develop through life’s hardships, as well as the important role grief, loss, anger, and healing can play in personal growth.

I work best with clients who are ready to be honest with themselves, open to vulnerability, and motivated to make lasting changes in their lives.

I earned a Masters degree in Clinical psychology in 2014 from Antioch University Los Angeles. I have since enjoyed working with clients of all ages and backgrounds. The areas that I hold the most experience in within my clinical work, are women's issues, relationships, issues in adolescence and individuals and families dealing with autism and other disorders.
