Jody Yeh-Shinbrood, LCSW

Jody Yeh-Shinbrood is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing from North Dakota, with active licenses in both North Dakota and Illinois. With more than 18 years of experience, she has supported individuals and families through a wide range of challenges including depression, stress and anxiety, adjustment to life transitions, grief and loss, family conflict, anger management, parenting concerns, and decision making. She also brings considerable experience working with families of children who have special needs and in medical settings where people face serious health crises.

As a clinician, Jody approaches care from a strengths-based perspective, believing that people already possess the resilience and capacity needed to move toward greater well-being. She aims to create a warm, respectful, and supportive space where individuals can explore practical tools and strategies. Jody emphasizes an attentive and validating therapy experience, helping clients name and express their thoughts, feelings, and needs while using research-informed methods to pursue their goals.

Jody views the therapeutic process as collaborative, with each person choosing their own goals and uncovering what matters most to them. She focuses on solution-oriented work and skill development through approaches such as motivational interviewing, symptom targeted intervention (STI), and solution-focused brief therapy, with the intent of empowering clients to address problems independently over time. Jody looks forward to working with clients who seek thoughtful, person-centered support. A LCSW denotes a licensed clinical social worker, a professional credential for advanced clinical social work practice.
