About me

Hey! I'm Jodeci Oquendo and I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor based in North Carolina and Connecticut. I received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Saint Joseph in Connecticut, and have been practicing for 8 years. I have worked in community outpatient clinics, intensive in-home programs, and telehealth settings supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session together will consist of brief introductions and diving into specific concerns you are currently experiencing. During this process, we will also explore goals and create a tailored plan to refer to in follow up sessions. I open this space for any questions and answers you may have to ensure you are feeling fully supported about your needs being met.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength is how warm and engaging I am throughout the process. My authenticity and genuineness allows me to create meaningful therapeutic relationships with my clients, and bringing a sense of comfort and normalcy to therapy. Starting therapy can often feel intimidating and uncomfortable. I will always meet you where you are in the moment. I take pride in ensuring my clients are always feeling heard, understood, and empowered in a safe, nonjudgmental space.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

You may be feeling stuck or unsure of where you “should” be in life. Struggling with navigating your relationships, making long term personal and/or professional decisions, or experiencing a life transition. It may be leading to feelings of anxiety, depression, lack of motivation, and increased levels of stress around what the future may hold for you. It can become draining and overwhelming to carry, but you don’t have to face those challenges alone. Let’s normalize not having everything all figured out.

My treatment methods

Eclectic

I use an integrative approach in the therapy process by incorporating more than one treatment approach to meet the individual needs of my clients. Utilizing multiple treatment methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Brief Treatment and Person-Centered, I am able to support my clients with gaining self-awareness, insight, improve self-expression, finding interpersonal solutions, and achieving their personalized goals. The therapy process is collaborative, however you are the expert. I will join alongside in your journey to facilitate self-discovery, and empower you to achieve self-acceptance in your healing and positive growth.

I've never connected with someone this quickly. It seems to be off to a great start! She is perfect for my needs. I would definitely recommend her if you're looking for somebody soft toned and straight forward. Can't wait to continue!
